What message do you get when you *228 or *2 for otap. You should receive a cricket message about programming, PRL 1042 should work for you, is your MSL/SPC set to 6 zero's?

Did you check and see if cricket definitely has service where you want to use your phone? Is there anyone that you can contact with cricket and ask which prl you should be using? I'm also curious if the radio you have installed may have something to do with it. Just trying to think of why this isn't working for you.

I just checked crickets coverage map and it shows Florida as an extended coverage area. and doing a little research the PRL's that work in Florida are roaming PRL's.
Also have you had another handset on cricket in Florida? Do you have a Florida cricket phone number?
Double check with cricket for service in that area and also ask them for the PRL version.

I have another handset on cricket , i've been using it since april 2009. Its a kansas city number 816. I tried to put it on the new phone but the problem is the phone is not getting any service.
But when i put the prl's that start with 38*** the phone gets a verizon service.

I'd say you don't have anything to loose by asking. Try to talk to a tech support person.
