Hey guys,

Lots of great info here, thanks alot. I kinda have a bit of a unique situation though. I have Verizon service out of DFW and have moved to a non VZW area; Lubbock, TX which is covered by SprintPCS and CellularOne CDMA; which I can freely roam on. On my old phone, a trimode, I was allowed to roam on CellularOne digital. However, the phone would only receive calls and be in standby in digital. Whenever I placed a call CellularOne would usually (90% of the time) drop my digital and force me to call out on analog. I could also change to 'Auto A' (or B, forgot) and quickly place a call on Sprint (digital of course); but I think CellOne had PRL priority, so it would eventually switch me back.

So, I went to target and bought a VirginMobile SE47 and manually changed the SPC to 0... and *2280X'ed it and programmed it for Verizon in DFW. My hope was that an all digital phone would stay in digital Now, back in Lubbock, the phone will not allow me to roam on either SPCS or Cell1; I get no service.

I've downloaded all of the programs here as well as VZW's 50160.zip PRL. How can I reprogram this phone with the USB cable or manually to work on sprint or cellone? Please tell me this is possible. Sorry if I was a bit verbose, I wanted to paint a clear picture.

Thanks a lot.
