i tried 00002, 00001, 11115 and both don't let me place calls... it (verizon) says that I will be connected to an external operator, where I could place calls using my credit card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rangie:
00002 is awesome since the storm seems to have killed sprint data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shu8i:
how did you get 00002 to work? I've tried it on two different phones and both of them connect me to verizon for me to pay from my credit card...

meanwhile I've tried 4 different verizon prls on two different phones with the same result (not able to place calls) I've no idea what I'm doing wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rangie:
I havent done anything other than follow the directions.

Im running a stock rom. Mabe that matters?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
I had the same problem a long time ago. I don't remember the fix but it has nothing to do with your rom. If you search this it the other big prl thread the answer is there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:
Are you using area codes when dialing? If I don't use them I get Verizon sometimes too. With texting too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shu8i:
Funny thing is that I can't revert back to sprint. Tried updating PRL, setting new prl via qpst, odin back to GB. The settings will show 60690 PRL (The newest sprint prl) but I will get the roaming triangle + whenever trying to make call I get redirected to verizons robot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:
I have tried most of em and they all work. Maybe update profile? Check roam settings?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shu8i:
I've tried updating Profile many times. It's always failing on me. Is there a way to force update Profile? Like PRL?

I would do that myself to get a new phone but sprint has the best pricing. And I still like this phone I can wait....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] armandosal:
I'm going to buy the nexus the day it comes out and just use my epic as a mifi until I get out of my contract and just go prepaid which I'm sure will saved me money in there long run.

Tmobile has good prices if you dont get a subsidized phone. Better data speeds too. My gf is switching to them Sprint booted her for roaming, 6GB in a single month. Meanwhile I've been roaming up to 40GB for months no problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] armandosal:
How long did it take to boot her? Did they call her? im curious about the process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
About a month and half from when I changed the prl to her getting the letter. I was surprised it was that quickly. She said they had called and even acknowledged the tower in our neighborhood had been down a couple weeks.

She's switching on the 7th no etf and no last month's bill.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] armandosal:
Wow that's pretty fast. since you told me that I've just been downloading large files non stop. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
I think the difference is I purchase lots of apps and the three lines on my account are always paid on time and not on hers.

I've been close to 40gb for three months with not even a call.

I never pay mine on time because I always forget and I have only one line so maybe we can reproduce this experiment. :) how much time you have left on your contract?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
It does actually entitle us to unlimited roaming without additional fees. Sprint just reserves the right to boot you for "excessive roaming"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
So what's the roaming data limit that you can't go over?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magni08:
nice work boss cant wait to give it a try
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tgruendler:
300MB or a percentage of all of your data. If you are roaming 100% of the time, the 300MB comes into play. If you only roam some of the time, then it is a percentage of your data that you use. This is according to Sprints TOS.

Off-network Roaming: The primary use of your Device must be for domestic purposes within the Sprint-owned network. Domestic means use in the 50 United States and U.S. Territories (except Guam). Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network usage in a month exceeds: (1) voice: 800 min. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes. The display on your device may not always be on and will not indicate whether you will incur roaming charges. You can monitor usage online through My Account. Roaming is not available with single-band phones, or to customers who reside or whose primary use is outside an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint Network. Sprint may limit or terminate service if you move outside of the Sprint owned-network.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
Just an update on my gf's account.

I had been wondering if the ESN would be clear immediately or if it would take a while to be updated. I checked it this morning and it was clear. So if you're planning to sell your phone after you get TOSd you won't have to wait long.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
Think its time to try Verizon's 3g data, I can't take Sprints data anymore.....its as if the 3g/wimax has gotten worse the last month or so. 300k/1.5mb respectively
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AKfortyseven:
Phone says 11115 is my prl but it doesn't say i'm roaming.

Is it not supposed to?

Edit disregard that question. installed Roam control and it's all good in the neighborhood

Next question. Should I disable 4g?

When it says 4g roaming? Is it really roaming 4g or is it on sprint's 4g which is REALLY slow.

Or is it really 3g roaming but it just says 4g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] armandosal:
Is it necessary to download roam control or do you just need to change the prl?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Digital_Fidelity:
Sprint cancelled my service on the 7th for roaming but I want to stay with them and get the EVO LTE. I've been trying to open a new plan on Amazon and it says Sprint denied the request. I can't log in to my sprint.com account because it says it's locked. My last bill should be posted on the 22nd but from what I've heard, when they terminate service due to roaming they not only waive the ETF but also the last months bill and just let you go.

I am fine with paying my last bill since I was still using data for that month but does anybody know how long until I can sign another contract with them? I know several people here on XDA have used this roaming termination to "upgrade" early, so I know I can open another account at some point but I'm wondering how long that may be.

I know I will still be roaming here if I open a new account but it will only be for about a month and then I'm moving back to the west coast where I won't need to use verizons towers and I can hold off on excessive data until then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AKfortyseven:
How much did you roam? I'm at about 1.3 GB now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I'm having no luck getting dropped either. I even switched to a PRL that ONLY does Verizon, I can't even use ROAM Control.

I've tried downloading ISO files, I've tried just about everything. I went out of town without my phone recently, left it torrenting while I was gone, nothing seems to get there attention.

I think the reason is that I'm a 12 year Sprint customer and my bills ALWAYS paid on time.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 AM ----------

If you change to the 00002.prl you will be constantly roaming on Verizon 3g. Roam control isn't needed and your roaming indicator will stay off.

The 11115.prl will allow you to roam on Verizon 3g, something the ota files don't do. With roam control you could choose between Sprint and Verizon.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

I remember hearing you needed to wait 6 months before Sprint would give you service. Might be different if you change address though.

so I read the first post about the PCS band and what not, but for some reason, after switching to 00002, I can make calls and data is working (surfing the net, going on Facebook, etc.), but I am not able to send or receive text messages... anyone know a fix for this?

uncheck that.

Ok I unchecked that and now I have two things apear when I click add new port. But you said there can only be one. So if I unplug my phone and nothing else the list turns to zero! There both my phone. What do I do now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdiamond16:
When you add the new port, change the port by typing COM12. Instead of COM3 (is what my always said).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
But the thing is when I plug in my phone 2 of them apear in the options to add a port... can I just choose either one since there both my phone?

EDIT- I just added them both and only one showed up as a phone. So I used that one and used 1115 prl and am getting 1.35Mb/sec on verizon towers now :-) I'm so happy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rfeagan:
Glad you are having luck with 11115! This "allows" roaming on verizon 3g, yes?

Let's say I'm in an area with very slow/weak sprint 3g bit good vzw 3g... Will 11115 prioritize the good vzw 3g?

I am not rooted, so no roam control. But maybe this will be my motivation to root?

If your not forcing roam with roam control then the phone will still hold onto a weak sprint signal. The time to root is now

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
11115 doesn't have access to any data on roaming where I live.

Probably pcs vs. cell or whatever.

I watch lots of netflix.

On my last month with at&t unlimited plan with my old nexus one I used 17gb.

I really want to use 00001 but...

Also is that only data roaming? Or is that call roaming too?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
If your roaming on any prl or roaming period its both calling and data that's roaming. I would definately not roam 17gb of data. That's not a good idea. Have you tested the speeds of the sprint tower and the versizon tower by your house? I just force roam when I have crap sprint 3g when in on the go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lamboh:
was getting 300-400 kbits/sec with stock sprint 60681 and changed to 00001 and tested 2500-2700 kbits/sec consistantly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Digital_Fidelity:
I was roaming about 10-20GB a month sometimes up to 30 :eek: I'm a data hog, that's why I need to stay with Sprint because on Verizon or AT&T that much data would cost me like 350 a month.... and I already did T-Mobile, after 5GB they would throttle me down to 56kbps exactly, it never got any faster than that. I really hope they don't want me to wait 6 months like the guy a few posts down from you said.... that would be bad, I'll try to use a different address though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Digital_Fidelity:
Do you happen to have a source? I hear T-Mobiles new unlimited they don't throttle at all and right now they have a free Galaxy S3 (with a rebate....) I'm thinking about going back to t-mobile, if I have to wait 6 months to get back with Sprint I definitely will switch, since they don't even have plans to launch LTE in my area within the next year

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AKfortyseven:
For how many months before they cancelled your service??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Digital_Fidelity:
Probably about 4. I was a new customer 7 months ago but I did pay my bill every month as soon as it was posted. I would go to T-Mobile for their data speeds but their customer service is the worst I have ever had to deal with. Just now I tried talking to a representative about the new plans and the price of their phones and after I asked her a question she said I am sorry for the inconvenience and ended the chat. This was happening when I was a paying customer of 7 years, and paying on time also, and I got my plan terminated and all fees waived because I saved all of the electronic conversations with any customer service representative.

I really want to stay with Sprint for the unlimited data, because I use a LOT, and the price of their phones but I can't go 6 months without a phone....

Does anybody know why T-Mobile's phones are at such a ridiculous price now? When I was with them over a year ago they were all competitively priced and affordable, but now even the cheap phones like the Optimus L9 and the One S are several times more expensive than Sprints Galaxy S3 or Evo 4G LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] armandosal:
If sprint drops you can you still port your number?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Don't think so
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Digital_Fidelity:
They give you 30 days from when they send you the letter saying they are terminating your service. You have to call them and tell them you are porting the number or they will charge you for a whole bunch of stuff on top of the ETF.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
Probably because they aren't subsidizing as much so that they can offer monthly costs competitive with Sprint and the prepaid carriers. Look at the nexus 4 cost from Google vs T-Mobile.

Does anyone update profile after switching PRL'S? Recently i switched to 11119 and was great for a day then 3G just started crawling. Went from 1.2 mps to .2-.3 in 10 different places. Almost like i got blocked or throttled. I never update profile after switching PRL'S but someone told me you should. Any ideas?? 4G flies if Im actually in 4g location which is rare.... Thanks for your thoughts...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
If you are using 1337 you are always roaming, it just won't say you are. Use netmonitor to see what carrier you are using.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
So let me get this straight. My main goal is to roam on the highway whenever Sprint data won't stream music. I have no intention of roaming on 3g just for the heck of it, pretty much whenever I have low signal I would want to be able to swap to Verizon.

00002 prl only allows Verizon roaming -> So whenever I got into roaming range (past some low signal threshold), it would automatically swap to use Verizon. Could I still use Roam Control to force it on demand (assuming yes).

So between 00002 and 11115, whenever I hit the stretch of 1x data from sprint on the highway, what are the differences between the two? I don't understand how it would automatically roam. Does some threshold have to be crossed and does this threshold change with the PRL?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ky0nkyon:
What I think he is saying is that 00002 has no roaming range; it's just roaming period. So no spring network at all and only on Verizon. Basically you will, depending in location stay on 1x constantly. 11115.lets you choose when you want to roam. I'm using 11115 here in Los Angeles and I don't get 3g, just 1x.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dnalevelc:
I just want to put my 2 cents in. I used a Verizon PRL to get better signal in areas that Sprint was weak. I guess I went too far with it.
