Question alltel/sprint

I have a sprint vogue. I am running sprint's latest radio and a tf2d custom rom. I ran alltel carrier cab and have it acivated on alltel. data, voice, sms,mms all work fine. when i use any of alltel's prl I have a roaming triangle and my phone says digital roaming. when I use any of sprint's prls I don't have a roaming triangle and it says alltel in the upper right corner of my phone. So which prl should I use. I've used both prls for about a month each without getting charged anything extra on my bill. I've heard that if you roam for more than 50% of the time they can charge you. Any insight would be appreciated

Are you sure your not roaming on a sprint tower? I have the exact same scenario as you. I took my sprint phone and activated it on Alltel but, where I live I roam on Verizon. It might just be that your roaming on Sprint.

Like I said it might just be that your roaming on Sprint. If you have a chance I would go to an area that you know for a fact is Alltel. Then you'll know if your stuck roaming or not. My phone works perfectly with that PRL. Now, you also might want to check your home SID. That could cause your phone to roam as well. I had a similar roaming issue when I was using the incorrect SID. So check this.
