WHAT'S CHANGED IN THE 7/22/2002 VERIZON PRL's:
Sprint PCS has been removed as a Roaming
partner in the following Sprint markets:
-NYC and Southern California, already removed in April 19, 2002 PRL, also:
4106* � Boston and New England
4168 - Philadelphia
4195 � Wasington DC & Baltimore
4274 � Atlanta, most of Georgia, and may affect some markets in Colorado and New Mexico
4376 � Charlotte, NC, the Carolinas
4379 - Charlottesville VA
4396 - Cleveland OH
4694 � Knoxville, TN
*The 4-digit number is the System ID transmitted
by the Sprint PCS cell site.
-The new Price Communications areas have now
been added as Preferred Roaming, but will
soon become actual Verizon markets.
-I also see what appear to be errors. For
example, they fixed the AZ area for roaming
in Valley Telecom to show Roaming, but now
(incorrectly, I believe) show Mohave Wireless
in AZ as a preferred provider. I dont think
so.
-All other changes are considered "housekeeping"
issues, i.e consolidating SID's into larger
geographic groups and deleting a few SID's
that are no longer being used.
WHAT CHANGED IN THE 4/19/2002 VERIZON PRL's:
US Cellular was added as a roaming partner
for the America's Choice plans in Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, and New
Hampshire. You can roam on these systems
without a PRL upgrade, but the Roaming indicator
will not be correct. Also, Sprint PCS was
removed as a roaming partner in greater New
York City, Los Angeles and San Diego, and
your Verizon phone won't be able to roam
on Sprint in those markets.
WHAT CHANGED IN THE 2/2/2002 VERIZON PRL's:
Sprint PCS was added as a roaming partner,
and the Roaming indicator shows when you
are on Verizon, or their AC partners, Alltel
or Sprint PCS, to use the America's Choice
plan.
CAUTION: The decision to upgrade your PRL should be made with great care! We recommend upgrading to no higher than 50026 at this time. In some areas you have no choice as to what PRL you receive in an OTA (Over The Air) upgrade, so you would be advised to do this at a Verizon store. The only real reason to upgrade to a new PRL is to use the America's Choice plan.
