but when i put 38515 prl it says digital roaming , and when i dial *224 it says ur phone is not in service

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Try PRL 1015, 1014, 38515 also try *228 or *2 to OTAP.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Also you list your carrier as Sprint did you just recently flash to cricket and if so have you verified they have the correct ESN in CID, check your MDN/MSID, SID,NID...........

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

where do i get the 1015 and 1014 i cant get them from corolada.com
thanx for helping me.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

i just bought this fone from ebay. and i called my cousin in kc he owns a cricket store. he flash fones all the time . he told me how to flash it. everything is correct. but the prl file is the only problem i have.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

I have the prl file for las cruces,NM if anyone cares to tell me how to get it off my phone.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

-open qpst service programming
-read phone
-save qcn file
-open qpst rl editor
-open qcn file
-save prl file

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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?

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

yeah its set to 6 zero's when i dial *228 it keeps saying looking for service

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

If i call the customer service u think they will give me the florida prl version?
I appreciate u'r help guys

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Try this one it is the one listed for Florida this is a hard one to find I had to ask Clutch from HoFo for it.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

i tried the cricket prl 38644 and 38944 i got a sprint signal , when i dial *228 it says your phone is not authorized for service at this time.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Ok i will do it tomorrow, i'll let you know what happens, i really appreciate your help.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Also double check all your pst setting http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1507276

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

its not working for me. i tried every prl file. my pst settings r correct. but no luck. im going to georgia in 2 days i will do it there . it might work. cuz they have cricket coverage .
thanks guys.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

You should have no problem in crickets native coverage area.. Also I would recommend that you call cricket and double check that they have the correct ESN. It has happened to me before that it was wrong in there system.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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)

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

<OK in the thread there is a link to two PRL's unzip them to your PC, then hook up to your phone and run QPST service program and click the ROAM tab, towards the bottom you'll see browse click it and find the PRL that you want to load and then click write to phone let it do it's thing and it should load. Pretty much load it like ya did when you flashed it.>

OK.. but I cant find them, still looking.....

My plan 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. >

Ok.. I loaded it but whats it for?...Do you mean my home area when you say native?..Is otasp dialing *228?

<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.>

Not sure I understand ..Whats PEC?....Thanks in advance...I will donate something..

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Save them to the desk top or rember where you save them to.


Good then with the new PRL loaded you shouldn't have any issues.

Yes your home area would be the native cricket coverage and yes OTASP is *228 OTASP= over the air service programing.

PEC = Premium Extended Coverage. It's like roaming but should not incur roaming charges. That is if the roaming partner in FL is providing CDMA coverage. If it's a AWS partner coverage then you will incur CDMA roaming charges.

Definitions
CDMA= Code Devision Multiple Access
AWS= Advanced Wireless Services
OTASP= Over the Air Service Programing
PEC= Premium Extended Coverage
WAP=Wireless Application Protocol
MMS= Multy Media Messaging

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Thank You.... Thank You....OK, almost there...

<OK in the thread there is a link to two PRL's unzip them to your PC>

I cant find them in the thread can you please point them to me (these will work in Florida?)

Providing I find the link to the 2 PRLs and unzip them to desktop,


all I have to do BERORE I travel to Florida is open DM/ QPST/QPST configuration/start clients/service programming/roam/prl/write...?

and can I do it now to see if it writes then just change it back to 38515 while im home?

If I dial #4357* I can view my current "PRL version" (its 38515)

thanks again...

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

I got an error roaming list contains no data

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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.

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

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

Re: which cricket prl file works in florida
 

Metro will be the PEC, Sprint would be roaming. and you said you had that on your plan so you should be all good.
