Thanks OP! Worked fine for me. I had to soft reset for the option to show.
I am in Lubbock also and have been using the Roam only for a Mogul and now the TP for over a year. Remember that when you go to roam only, you also go to voice roaming on the Alltel network also. You will have to dial full number for all calls in lubbock even if they are local. I do not use roam only except when I need the extra speed. I have found that the TP and the current PRL work very poorly in areas between lubbock and ruidoso and in the areas north when not on the interstate. I was north of Amarillo last week and could not get a data connection most of the time.
One caveat, on the mogul roam only worked great with one PRL but when it was updated you could no longer roam on the alltel network. I had to manually go back to the old PRL in order to roam on Alltel.
It is a shame Lubbock is located in the technological wilderness.
