Analog B and Roaming?

[travanx]

When the phone switches to Analog B is the phone roaming? I am confused at this, as looking at coverage maps, Las Vegas is covered. But while I was in Las Vegas the phone switches to Analog B and warns me about roaming charges. Any help please...

first off las vegas is aws band so if you do not have an aws phone then you are probably roaming and my tp said analog b when i was sure i was roaming.

Good to know then, I am trying to figure out how to stick with Metropcs use Googlevoice and have a pay as you go phone for whenever I am out of reception.

Was this a flashed handset? I'm quite surprised there is any analog running at all, most carriers decom'd it last year. I live in a very rural area and even here there is NO analog on any carrier.

Yes I flashed the Touch Pro to work on MetroPCS. I get analog B when I travel to places like Las Vegas, that the coverage map says has coverage. I use this phone for my business and it sucks that I can't receive/make calls in certain areas.

Verizon(B Side) and at&t(A Side) ran the AMPS networks in Las Vegas. Both have shut them down so they can use the Bandwidth for other services. I don't see how you could be getting analog roaming.

I think the "Analog B" or "Analog A" is a default message for roaming, even when roaming on digital.

Sniff.... I sure do miss Analog...


NOT!

That same analog B things pop up in my evo 4g. I live in the Santa barbara area which is also supposed to have coverage. i read it was something related to the htc not being able to read aws. Does any one if there is a way of fixing this?
