[HACK] PRL swapping.

[asianman89]

So if I do this hack will it make my wifi tether put out higher speeds

 

[Nick7]

Not necessarily.

If you are in a bad service area where roaming would benefit you, yes. If you get good Sprint service where you are at, no.

 

[asianman89]

I see I get good reception at home but my ps3 lags sometimes and I was wondering what I could do to get faster speeds

Don't worry about that, just follow the steps.

Would writing a PRL from Verizon, Cricket, Metro PCS or any other carriers that use CDMA hurt our phones? I've used almost all of the ones you have given us in your source link. I was just wondering if we could, and what kind positives and negatives do you see if we could just write the most current Verizon PRL to our phones? IMO verizon's 3G network is faster.

You have to test.

It could be possible.

I'm using 40065 on my phone, I'm in the Pacific Northwest, and I've found 40065
is the best PRL for me. HOWEVER there is an issue with phone service using it.

I found I HAVE to always dial the 10-digit phone #, not just the 7-digits,
even if I am in the same area code - because it will think I am using Verizon.
If I always dial the 10-digit, it keeps me on the Sprint network and no issue.

Only glitch I have seen, but using this PRL, I get way better signals wherever
I go during my daily commutes, etc.

Is this better than the force roaming app that came with nROM?
I have unlimited roaming on my plan and I am sure most of you have it to. So thats why I am asking

If on Sprint, your roaming is limited to 800min according to the terms of service.

What about data?

Nick, how would I install this on cm7? I installed a signed version of your roaming app but it is blank.

My roaming application doesn't work with CM7, but you can still flash a PRL with QPST. Just follow the instructions in the OP.

https://manage.sprintpcs.com/output/en_US/manage/MyPhoneandPlan/ChangePlans/popLegalTermsPrivacy.htm

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: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes.

HA I toll at least 3 GB of roaming data a month. Still waiting to be terminated.

I've only ever read about people getting cease letters for excessive voice roaming.

I'm not the type to tell you to do or not do something. Just correcting a statement that was made earlier.

Everyone makes their own judgment call what they would like to do. They should however have the correct information.

No doubt, thanks for the information. I know that I shouldn't roam so much but Sprint towers have the weakest signal in my building I'll definitely add that to the OP as a disclaimer.
