I would liket to force the Mogul to evdo data roam. I have alltel evdo but not sprint.
when i use the roam only phone function and allow data roam function, I show evdo on the tool bar but when i try to connect the phone dials the 777 sprint 1x number.
Any ideas on how to force the phone to evdo on alltel?
Larry
are you sure the roaming agreement supports EVDO on alltel?
I know Verizon gives us only 1x data because their EVDO is too valuable to let the likes of us roam on it!
Sprint and Alltel have an EVDO roaming agreement between each other. Verizon does not let anyone else on their EVDO yet.
See if this pound code works: ##EVDO# (##3836#)
I don't know how you could use Alltel for voice and Sprint for data but you could use Sprint for everything if you go into your Phone settings and under roaming choose Roaming Only but you may pick up in a Verizon network (which bites ass).

My friend has an Alltel 6800 which shows the roam triangle while in the home coverage area. She was told that this was normal with her service plan. I told her that there was something wrong with the phone since its on roam and that she should switch out the phone for a new one. So far the phone acts nomal and there are no issues with roam charges, voice calls or data transmissions.
Is this really normal sometimes due to a service plan?
I found out on howardforums that in some areas Alltel customers do show roam in their home coverage areas

I am an Alltel 6800 customer, I live in Nebraska and I am roaming all the time at home. I haven't been charged for roaming. Still would be nice if we could get rid of the triangle.
Hi all...
I live in Verizon land, work in Alltel land. I have a Verizon XV6800 that works just fine in Alltel land, including inside my office building, up until a few weeks ago.
The company reciently installed a big indoor repeater system for cell phones, but they only installed modules for Tmobile and AT&T, since that's who our corporate contracts are with. My XV6800 used to sit happily on Altel's network, as long as I wasn't in the basement of the building or something, but now it is stuck on Verizon. Now I get 5 bars of Verizon service at my desk, but I can't make or recieve any calls.
Best guess from the tech guys is that the building repeater system is picking up a VZ signal from the same direction as the antennas are pointed for ATT or TMO, pulling that into the system, and repeating the "carrier" for Verizon inside the building. But since we aren't transmitting to Verizon, the phone can't talk to the network and the network can't talk to the phone.
I can't hear you now.
So long story short, I need a way to force the phone back on to Alltel's network. I did search first, but all I could find was references to Settings->Phone->Services->Roam which I don't have. I don't have Roam in the services menu. I do have Network Settings, but the only options are Auto and Home Only... I need Roam Only.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!
You can either edit the registry and ad a D word name & value for roam only, or you could cheat and upload an Alltel prl (30031) from www.corolada.com/prl and select "home only" in your network settings.
Recently Today my EVO 3D flashed to Metro will no longer Roam. Its either in service or No service. Usually it will roam on near by Verizon Tower and im able to still send texts just not make calls, which im fine with that.
Any Idea what is causing that.
And exactly what does enabling or disabling Domestic Voice/Data do on metros service.
WTF, as soon as i hit enter the phone goes right into roaming Analog B/A So now its working. Once i enabled the Domestic voice and data it started to roam. Hmm. Still need info if you can help

I see this is pretty old, but a prl update usually helps this issue.
I'm running a stock, unrooted ZVC. I live in an area with great Sprint service, but sometimes (today) I'm in an area with no or poor Sprint coverage. How can I get my G2 to roam? I don't intend to torrent all of the interwebs, I just want a little data to use Hangouts and Facebook with. I get a weak 1xRTT signal here and can make a call, but no data service. I've checked the necessary boxes, and put the phone in Global mode, but it wont roam. Putting it on GSM mode only will find AT&T , T-Mobile, but will not connect.
Even in other areas where it does prompt me to roam and it shows the little triangle, I just can't get any data signal.
This is immensely frustrating, since I'm rarely in a non Sprint area, but I'd really like roaming to just work when I need it.
Any advice?
Sprint does not roam off domestic GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. Roaming arrangements are with CDMA carriers like Verizon.
If you've gone into System Settings, Roaming and set Roaming Mode to Automaic, checked off Domestic Roaming and Domestic Data Roaming, also go to Settings, Mobile Data, hit Menu button and check off Data Roaming there as well.
If you're in an area with no Sprint signal but a roaming partner is available, it will connect to that carrier and roam off them for either voice calling (1x) or data (1x, and or 3G). Might be a good idea to update your PRL (preferred roaming list).
If after all these you still can't roam, then get on the phone with customer service and have them see what's going on.
Most Sprint plans nowadays include voice roaming and data roaming, but with this important caveat as per their T&C :
Off-network Roaming: The primary use of your Device must be for domestic purposes within the Sprint-owned network. Domestic means use in the 50 United States and U.S. Territories (except Guam). Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network usage in a month exceeds: (1) voice: 800 min. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 100 or 300 megabytes or (based on plan terms) a majority of kilobytes.

I finally got around to modifying my PRL on my Sprint Note 3. I'm using PRL Helper to switch PRL's out. I first started with 65002 and it worked as VZW voice and 3G evdo data no problem. Ran some video with no buffering so speed was good and verified it was VFW in settings and the rome control app. Then I switched to the 53137 corporate PRL and it still works but it doesn't seem to roam to VZW at all, not evdo or 1X...nothing. I flashed the 65002 back and now I can't get any data on VZW and I don't see any 3G icon, not data at all. Am I doing something wrong or am I using outdated PRLs? Did VZW notice that I don't suppose to be on a corporate PRL or noticed that I was getting 3G evdo data then suspended my ESN? I use Rome Control too so now when I force into rome only mode I get no data.
