PRL Thread for New Nationwide Plans

I have an LG glance that I flashed to cricket. I can send and receive phone calls and receive text but I can not send. I am new to this and tried many different PRL's but every time I dial *228 it reverts back to 4199.prl. I have called cricket to refresh the account but nothing works.
 
I'm running a Verizon LG Dare, full flashed to cricket. I am on the $50 dollar plan. The web, text, pics, talk, currently it all works. What PRL and SID should I be using? Thanks for the info....
 
Blackberry Stormed.
Man I really do not wish to restore my phone, and I am still without service. I get good signal, and I can reach OTAP (which fails every time). But when I go to call out i get the (busy) signals of failure.

I am in the PIT(tsburgh) market, and using the 1050 PRL, 5945/11165 for SID/NID pair.

Gunna restore it now. Grr.
 
If you can, start posting links to your PRLs if you know how to pull them off of your phone (CDMA Wkshp or QPST). I used to use PRLs with 5 digits and start with 3 for my phones. I just changed my plan online and did a *228 and now have the 1015 PRL too. Hmm. Maybe it has new data in it but the same PRL identifier (I'll do a comparison later)? It is also possible that CPE phones have been flagged in the system as "not compatible" with the new nationwide service and given this PRL... I'll investigate further when I travel.


*Update* I guess since I changed my plan to the new $40 plan, I, essentially, "dropped" roaming. I guess the 1015 PRL had the Sprint towers built in.
 
In Houston, in you load the 6199 PRL and *228, it gives you your newest PRL. Worked for me, im on the 45/40 plan and it gave me the 38288 PRL. i get talk, text, pics, and web... if only i could figure out how to work MMS on my hero.
 
What I am trying to understand is if this is a widespread problem with flashed phones. Are most people that are updating their prls losing service or is this just a select few? The reason I ask is I would like to by a new flashed phone, but wonder if I should wait a while.

I don't live in a native Cricket coverage area but have been using Cricket for the last 4 months, using the extended coverage off of Bluegrass Cellular. When I updated my prl on my flashed centro on Tuesday in a cricket coverage area then returned to the Bluegrass coverage area, I no longer have service.
 
I just updated a Mess II for a customer with OTA programming and got 4499. It's like they are updating them weekly...4299, 4399, now 4499.
 
I would find it odd that one would lose service in their home area after updating a PRL while in said area. My suggestion is to make sure you have a copy of your current PRL archived BEFORE you *228 a new one down and make sure you have a way to write archived PRLs to your phone while traveling with it. I would think that is a no-brainer. I am going to try to travel to some familiar areas formerly know as PEC and see how the newly *228ed 1015 works versus my old 38499 & the 6199 that pa.cricket posted.
 
you have to change to one of the new nationwide plans to get a new prl. 38288 is an old prl, and will only work with the old extended coverage. Change your plan and *228 again, and you will have a new nationwide prl.
 
I'll have to try that out. If it fails to OTAP, then I'll just pull the correct prl from another phone with the same plan that did OTAP.
 
I changed my CPE BB Storm & BB 8730 over this morning, and everything went haywire. I tried the new 01015.prl and still no go.

When I originally flashed these phones, I used the 1050 prl for the PIT market. They have all been working just fine with Talk, Text, MMS, and WEB. Now... nothing, not even OTAPA.

I called my local rep to find out which PRL they are using, and they basicially told me not much information that we have not obtained already in this thread.

Now I am without service at all, I put the old 1040 back on and it still will not OTAP.

Gunna play with this a bit more and see if I can get it to work. Stay tuned.

Just a note: Cricket goes Nationwide to compete with Boost.... and they chose to compete on their own towers? (sprint). I have to laugh at marketing ploys.
 
I just had my Motorola Droid flashed to cricKet a few days, and it has the 38644 PRL on it. If there was a way to extract it, I'd like to know so that I can extract it for you guys...
 
Yeah my mistake I named it the prl wrong when saving it. The 6199 prl is being pushed for the $40 plan. :silly:
