The only thing I did was download Verizon PRL 51739, put it on the SD card, then dial ##PRL. I then specified the PRL from the memory card, and hit ok. I hit save, the phone rebooted. It specifies "roaming" all the time, but I just shut off all roaming indicators, and allowed the apps to access data even when roaming. I have an Alltel smartpack plan and should not roam anywhere in the US, according to Verizon. That got me back to having service everywhere, but my reception still sucked, so I loaded the TELUS radio and now my service rocks.

On another note, I decided to upgrade to the TP2 the other day, and am eligible, but verizon requires me to sign up for another $29.99 data plan (on top of the included data plan with Smartpack which is $89.99.) I told them when I decide to upgrade I'll bail to Sprint. I figured a $29.99 phone plus $10 extra a month would still save me $20 over 2 years compared to compreable plan with Sprint ($79.99 and 199.99 for phone). +39.99 a month is ridiculus.

Then kept replying, you need a data plan, I replied, I HAVE a data plan and AM charged for it. No dice....

Ticks me off, so I downloaded Mepis live CD, Knoppix Live CD, the newest Debian cd all through Opera Mobile to my phone's SD card, not using any tethering just phone browser. I downloaded over 2.5 GBs yesterday over EVDO, and have more linux to download
