Sprint Touch on verizon -roaming and data issues

amcdowell82 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-08-2008, 04:19 PM

Hi all, I have a Sprint Touch which I have activated on Verizon's network and am using the stock ROM that is available here. I am able to use voice and txt services. However I am unable to use the data connection. I am getting unknown error. I have entered my user/pass in the #777 network settings. What else?

Also the phone is not showing Verizon Wireless at the top it says Preferred System and is showing the little triangle at the top to indicate roaming. All incoming calls also say Incoming Roaming. I have my home tower in the SID in EPST. I cannot program with *22899 I get the music and then "I'm sorry you phone is unable to be programmed". I am able to program with *228. What am I missing here? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I am, I just double checked and I have the 51020.prl, I downloaded and loaded it again to make sure and still the same Preferred System and the roaming triangle.

I have done this as well. If I hadn't I wouldn't be able to activate with *228

BTW, I am cloned to my old Samsung i730, don't think that matters though

Hmmm correct me if i am wrong but doesn't regular phones use a different way to log on to data services? So maybe it is not enabled the proper way for you?

I believe you are right but the i730 is a PDA with WM5 on it.

Anyone that can help on this? I have upgraded the radio and I am using OMJ's ROM. Still no data and Preferred System with roaming triangle. As for the data I tried the re-authentication #(forget the num) was waiting for 30 minutes and eventually I hung up. I am guessing my M.I.P settings are screwed up. Or I need VZW to send a new dmu. Thanks for any info

I have no idea if this will help you at all, but when i flashed to a custom rom, then back to the stock verizon (my touch is verizons tho) i had the same problems, and had to call #8899 and get a tech support person. I did this twice. The first time the guy just did something to my phone from his end and when i hung up it worked. The second time a lady gave me a code that i put into a field in the #PST place.
