Sprint is the provider here. I think there's about 4 or 5 areas like this in the US. They used to have the maps of these areas separate on Sprint.com to show additional EVDO areas. Not sure why they removed them though.

Basically the way it is setup the phone will lock onto voice on the Sprint towers, search for EVDO on the Sprint towers, if it can't find the EVDO on Sprint it will search the Alltel bands here for EVDO and lock on. Your phone will say Sprint with no roaming but if you look at the debug screen you will see EVDO is coming from the Alltel channels. For some reason in one of the PRLs around 60613 they removed the EVDO roaming in my area. So when I have no Sprint voice signal it goes to Alltel 1X for voice and data. I'm not sure why they did this but we use the EVDO anyways all the time so I keep an older PRL on that will roam on Alltel voice and EVDO for data when I have no Sprint coverage. It's not often I go to this one place where I have no Sprint coverage but it's nice to have EVDO when I need it.

Ok just got the replacement and it has more talk time on it than the one i am sending back has. Battery cover is squeaking though. It was built 27-Dec 08 with a HW Ver of 0080
