Ok, read carefully....because this is really weird, i may have discovered the "America of cricket"

I have customized a PRL file (don't remeraber wich one, i think it was 38643), and i used QPST RL Editor to remove the roaming SIRAB. and so far, i am in a AWS market (Washington DC) able to make UNLIMITED talk/text and i don't get the "cricket roaming everywhere" sound and i do not get charged for roaming.

so, can anyone else in the Washington DC market test this out...i attached the 38643 PRL and my custom PRL, revised three times....

i am also asking people on other AWS markets to get all of the newest PRL files and test them and remove the roaming SIRAB....(use QPST RL editor, use google)

but the weird thing is that the phone has the roaming triangle....but no roaming charges...

and i believe that i can get WAP/MMS get on this thing, because i believe i am connected to a "Premium Extended Coverage" roaming partner(and you can get all of the same goodies), and i know it's sprint for the fact that all the phones on the local sprint store are connected to the same SID which is 4195, channel 25.

i don't know if the pictures act as proof, but i took some screenshots...











 
:^/ Amazing discovery, sir. I wonder how much trouble one could get into with this....

I'd try it out on the 1050 PRL that I use, but I don't roam enough to test it out.
 
i think i tryed that one already but it's only within the cricket network, the old network that they had a few years back...i got me absolutely no service around my area...
 
try it and see what happens.....make sure you activate an cricket account somewhere else...i activate it in raliehg nc, with a fake address and no roaming charges have happened so far...
 
i went to the local sprint/verizon stores and took notice of the SIRAB, frecuencies, and channels the phones used while on standby/making calls/texting/web browsin....(the store rep askd me what i was doing, i told them i was studying for wireless telecomm. encryption)...


so i noticed that sprint uses the "4195" SID, and verizon uses the "18" SID...

somehow strange on this site bellow it shows the "4195" SID as owned by "American Personal Communications LP"
i am not an expert on this, but that list bellow neeRAB to be updated or speint owns that company...

and yes, i believe i can get internet workign on a premium extended coverage area if i use QNC as a dial-up type...directly to cricket...
 
which prl is ***cricket home and premium extended coverage area ONLY***...because in theory you can load a PRL that has home and PEC, and your good to go...go anywhere and no messing with SIRAB or any of that crap...
 
when i edited one of the PRL with "QPST RL Editor", it has a collum of a option of 1 or 0, i think 1=roaming/0=home or vice versa...



because myu dad has sprint, so i messed with his phone...and i double checked with each and everyone of the phones in the local corporate sprint store....
 
when i edited one of the PRL with "QPST RL Editor", it has a collum of a option of 1 or 0, i think 1=roaming/0=home or vice versa...



because the phone no longer has the SID on memory so it moves on to the next SID with the greatest signal strengh..
 
I tried your mm07743.prl file

It was roaming on Verizon in NJ. I pulled a PRL from an R560
and threw it on a Motorola Krazer (Ironically cricket but dual band)
and the phone is pretty much done for unless I bootload it with
a full flash would restore it which I probably will this week.

I will also activate the phone later this week as I review this interesting
idea.

Your PRL came from a Tri mode phone correct? (Basing that on your PRL nuraber) Also to reconfirm you have an NC nuraber for the account you are using? So your HOME SID is an NC one correct?

Last you are in the Washington DC market but, are you in the actual PEC
area or the Darker green AWS area? Both most likely but I just want to make
sure because Im under the assumption that any Dual band phone will work in the PEC area because sprint uses 1900mhz. So that said as long as you have an updated PRL and you go to these areas you would be fine. I just want to make sure this is not the case.
 
Hello,

Can somebody tell me how to activate a phone in a cricket market where flashing is allowed?
I live in Washington, DC, I'd like to use my Verizon LG VX11000 with unlimited cricket.

Any person doing buisness as intermediate to get an address in a flashing market?

Thanks,

Quentin.
