I believe the phone comes with the most up to date PRL which is 30033, but all you have to do to update it is dial *228 and option 2.

ok i did that but its still running off the 1x network out here in califorina .... altel doesnt pay for evdo out here .. thats why i had to force the lg glimmer to hit off and use the Evdo network during tethering ... i have not activated my htc touch pro yet still doing tweks .. but as soon as i switch phones over i dont want to be stuck with 1x tethering on the htc ... its nice haveing decent speeds on the gl glimmer .. is there any other way ...

##PRL# or ##PRL send... make sure you got the PRL you want to install copied to your device in a folder....when the PRL update screen comes up just point it to where you got the one you want to use stored....beware.... you probably will see a roaming indicator once you do this.

Jayson,
Look at this web site. http://www.the-answerman.com/sidlist/prl/index.asp
It's Answermans site and he has all the latest PRL's for Alltel. The Pro comes with the most up to date PRL for phones, but there are different PRL files for data cards that can be used on phones and they enable EVDO in areas that Alltel doesn't have EVDO. He has instructions and which files you need. Hope this helps.

Jay
