Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / February 2004PRL Changes: 50143 vs. 50152
PRL 50152 has been released and here are the changes compared to PRL 50143. Some of the details of the SIDs were obtained from www.justalurker.com and www.mountainwireless.com and http://www.ifast.org/SIDtables.htm Some changes in priority and changes from A to D/A may not be noted along with any other changes that I may have missed. This is a very minor update to 50143, but the changes must have been important enough to Verizon for them to release a new version of the PRL. Here's the changes! VZW = Verizon native area - no triangle FR = Free roam/extended network - flashing triangle RM = Roaming - solid triangle NEG = Negative Entry - will not roam on this provider A = Analog Only D/A = Digital/Analog D = Digital Only PCS = PCS -------------------------------------------------------- The following areas changed from RM to FR. -------------------------------------------------------- 1608 D/A Litchfield County Cellular Inc. 610B Oregon 5 - Coos -------------------------------------------------------- The following areas were added as FR. -------------------------------------------------------- 393 D/A United States Cellular JACKSONVILLE NC Rich > -------------------------------------------------------- > The following areas changed from RM to FR. > -------------------------------------------------------- > 1608 D/A Litchfield County Cellular Inc. > 610B Oregon 5 - Coos Thank the Verizon Network Gods!!! I have been TRYING to get ANYBODY at Verizon to admit that a large part of Southwest Oregon (along I-5 especially) was ROAMING due to system 1608. I was just down there this last weekend in Roseburg and my phone was roaming. I of course forced it on to system ID 1607 (US Cellular) to avoid this, but it was irritating none the less. P.S. It may still be worth it to force your phone to USCellular since system ID 1608 is not 1X capable (and hence will drain your battery faster I believe). -Eric "Eric Rosenberry" <erics@n0-spam.rosenberry.org> wrote in message news:wP-dnXzt39CEZq_dRVn- [snip] > P.S.

In my experiences in Southern Oregon USCellular is analog in many places including parts of Roseburg. Granted the analog performs really well in the rural areas. > Are you saying that USCellular is 1X capable.

Yes, when in Roseburg this last weekend once I forced my phone to only associate with SID 1607 I had great strength 1X coverage with my LG VX 4400 in Roseburg. -Eric On Thu, 19 Feb 2004 09:25:31 -0800, "Eric Rosenberry" <erics@n0-spam.rosenberry.org> chose to add this to the great equation of life, the universe, and everything: >Yes, when in Roseburg this last weekend once I forced my phone to only >associate with SID 1607 I had great strength 1X coverage with my LG VX 4400 >in Roseburg. These questions will probably require multiple answerers: How do you do that with a 4400? Is either Sprint or USCC Extended Network in Chicago? What are the SIDs for Sprint and USCC in Chicago?

Yes. Makes a huge difference. I usually ended up forcing Sprint PCS along I-5. SignatureMark Henderson "Heilir ?sir. Heilar ?synjur.
