40036 - EDVO Rev A for Treo's and Data Cards I believe. I think this one has expanded sprint Rev A roaming?

I have toggled between the two, and roaming on the 40036 outside of an alltel area, I receive a can not place call error when I try to place a call sometimes... I know EVDO should have nothing to do with 1x which is how your phone calls?

Anyone have an insight? Any alltel employees??

I'm like you, couldn't place a call sometimes with the 40036 prl. Must depend on which market you're in.

when you cant place a call do you have a solid roam triangle or a flashing triangle or no triangle at all?

I have the same no call issue with full service etc but only when my roaming indicator is solid...

I have the problem with a flashing triangle roaming indicator.

I'm down here in Orlando, FL and I just updated my phone to WM6.1, added 40038 as my PRL to my PPC6800(Alltel) and everything works great! No roaming triangle, all my calls work sending and recieving, 1x works, Ev works, rA, works great too!

I just moved from Charleston, SC to Orlando and I too was stuck with 1x and the blinking triangle. Upgraded to the 40038 PRL and all is well! Still got the blinking triangle though... But it is nice to finally be on rA!!

Tried both 40036 and 40038... Both work great, but still show that damn blinking triangle... Currently using the 40038 as it appears to be the most recent.

Ya, my triangle came back soon after I posted, go figure, lol. I ignore it now though I guess. I've never really had any complaints from Alltel, though in the past month now I think my phone was forced a prl update by some one up in the clouds. I looked at my phone after it made a error noise and it was saying "Your phone must restart. ... Restarting in 5,4,3,2,1..." Booted up with some other rom. *shrugs* I put 40038 back on after it did that and I was back to Rev.A.

There's actually a much newer PRL for you available here.

I've been using 40048 for a few weeks and had great reception and crazy fast internet.

The Alltel/Verizon folks wanted everyone to wait until daybreak for this PRL. I am in a Market that was suppose to transfer from Alltel to Verizon. I have a smartphone and performing the update with *22896 gave me this PRL.

I had issues with the 400xx PRLs.
