Shadow, thanks for the reply. I do have a data plan, & can connect to the internet via wifi or cell. I did the "GPS enable " stuff on Sunday night, and then travelled a 100 miles into Sprint territory on Monday morning. I realized that morning my cell was dead. I dialed *228 on the phone to activate it and to learn roaming position and it worked. As did my GPS. When I returned to Alltel towers though, no cell again. I called Alltel they had to wipe my registry & I re-activated my phone. I now know to never do *228 away from home. The reason I mention all of this is that my GPS worked in the Sprint tower range. Any of this make sense?
