I will ask did you change the prl to a vzw prl then try a *228 provision?

Yes I did.

So I would suggest to update your contract if you like them you'll still get same service as if you had verizon just must better plan!

Can't upgrade. We are no longer Alltel. We're sucked into Verizon now.

ROMs do make a difference as far as programs and features, but not the actual radio.

The OP asked for help. If the only thing you're gonna say is well if you were with sprint, don't say it.

No kidding, this becomes super annoying every single time a post like this comes up (& I see that even after you posted this three more DB's stll had to add in their 2 cents about Sprint......

All you Sprint "fanboys", go post somewhere else. If switching to Sprint was a legit option, I'm sure the OP would have already done it.................

By the way, I have used both Sprint & my current VZ service & no way will I ever go back to Sprint......

Gah this is ridiculous every single time??? I mean come on! This isn't an elementary school for sprint v. verizon. Users come needing help, not asking to switch, not asking what this company does over the other.
Leave the politics out for goodness sakes [/rant]

back on topic
did any of the suggestions I gave you work? If not I would call vzw wireless to see if there isn't an issue with your line

You get upset about some pretty dumb stuff. We all have choices and can go to any phone company that we choose to and there is nothing wrong with someone offering advice from their experiences. I personally would not choose Sprint or Verizon because they are both raping the public. If I had to choose between the two I would choose Sprint because Verizon seems to think that there can be only one (kinda like Highlander) and has cut the head off of Alltel and sucked up their power and now EVERYONE has been left with less choices thanks to power hungry Verizon. Seems as though most of the VIP people on here have and attitude and think that what they say is gospel and there should be no choices other than what they want. Yeah I said it so what.

obviously you haven't been around long enough.
Wait, you too will see everyone's switch to sprint post when they're asking a legitimate question and need a legitimate answer.
Best not to post if you haven't been around longer than a week.
Yeah, I said it.
You stay around long enough to become VIP,
you'll realize what I've said, what others said.
You'll also realize why sometimes the longer members are mean to people.
Since we answer the same questions about 10 times throughout anygiven week when a simple search could have found the answer.
Again, you're new,
so don't even think you know it all.

I see, Since I have only been here for a short period there is NO WAY I can see what is going on. Don't even try and pull that with me. I have been watching these forums and the Howard forums for over a year now and you guys have no tolerance for a what you consider to be a dumb noob question or someone that asks a question more than once. You were there at one time and you know it so don't be a hypocrite and show a little more understanding sometimes. Some of these people have never even seen a windows mobile phone before and have no idea even what a cab is. Yeah I said it again.

i would be upset that being with alltel and then getting a vzw diamond since it does not have the same specs, like ram, cpu, internal storage.... the closet phone vzw has would be the Omani granted that has 16gb internal storage and transflash...

my sister has alltel and said that verizon will grandfather your plan but you will have to buy a verizon phone once the merger is official. please don't shoot the messenger!

we do have understanding, but when there's the same question over and over and over and over, and no one searches, then there's no toleration for that. obviously you don't follow very well.
and pull what with you? you just got an account this month, within the past 4 days.... therefore you didn't even download anything from this site before then, so I don't see how you could truly follow what's on this site.....

I use to be a huge advocate for helping them out, and trying to point them to the right spot, etc etc, but I'm tired of it.
I use to just post them the links to the other million threads of the same question that has different solutions in each one of them,
told them the keywords I used to search, that way they could see how I searched for them and compare to their keywords to help them out in their searching in the future.
and they would only complain that I didn't copy and past the solutions into their thread or yell at me for it.
so there's no tolerance for it.
stick around, you post a million of the same things.
till then, don't post on the subject.
done deal. especially since you're not helping them out mr 2 post count.
you don't have the right to complain about something when you don't try and help to fix it. yet another reason why you don't have the right to post on that subject.
shall I keep going?

I won't let them give me a verizon TP over my un-gimped alltel TP.
Not going to happen.
If they do, they will pay me my $ back for the phone, full retail,
and then cancel my contract, and give me $ to compensate for my time/trouble/lost business due to the number change when I have to go to another carrier.
I don't get screwed over like most, I do the screwing.
hahahaha.

no way am I getting a new phone, not my problem they finally decided to do the merger after owning alltel for 3 years.
