What is giving the error? The BB or QPST?
The file is named incorrectly and I apologize for that, but they are the two for florida. In Florida you'll be roaming either on PEC with Metro PCS, or "Roaming" on Sprints CDMA network.

To clarify, I paid cricket for PEC so its a free call for me, cricket pays Metro PCS or Sprint for the service?

How do you know it's a sprint signal? Is your phone sprint branded?
OK these are the only two listed for the extended coverage area in Florida, cricket does not have native service in Fl. You will not be able to *228 while in that area. You will need to do the following
Do an ESN swap with cricket on your account.
If the above has been done then you will need to do the following
program MDN/MSID
program SID/NID
load PRL
These Items can most likely be found on the phone that you have currently working in Florida. If it has a different PRL let me know and I can get it for you.

Could you please help a newbie?


I have a BB Pearl I just flashed using QPST to cricket...I was told by cricket that when I travel I would have to manually load the PRL to where I am going. I went through this last month after buying an old BB 7130 and traveling to Ft lauderdale Florida only to be stranded with out a phone that worked..the phone works fine in my home area but not when I travel cause when *228 or any variation is called, it will not program forward PRL..

could you please advise on how to do this?

thank You so much.. (copy via PM)

I didn't mention this in my PM but your BB is a dual band CMDA and won't work in all cricket markets (AWS) so be advised that in places like most of FL you will be roaming on another network and will need either money in ur flexbucket or a plan that includes roaming.

You can also load one of these http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment...1&d=1257307095 through QPST while in a native cricket area. Don't do the OTASP it will overwrite them with a local PRL.

Keep in mind that cricKets extended coverage is not cricket native coverage and features like WAP/MMS and *228 OTASP will not work because you will be roaming on another network. You also will need PEC on the account.
