PRL 50233 has been released and here are the changes compared to PRL
50210. Some of the details of the SIDs were obtained from
www.justalurker.com and www.mountainwireless.com and
http://www.ifast.org/SIDtables.htm

FRM = Free Roam/Extended Network - no triangle
FRL = Free Roam/Extended Network Limited - 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

Bill,
I'm still confused about this aspect of the PRL. I was thinking that I
would (could) be charged roaming in an area where a roaming partner had been
dropped, even though my older PRL indicated to the phone that it was still a
valid partner. Can you carify this for me?

Thanks,
Harold

As far as I can tell (and from what I've read here) this hasn't
occured YET, but it could at any time.

In some areas, Sprint has blocked the ability to roam on their network
(NYC is an example) if you're not a Sprint customer.

Remember, its not the roaming partners who determine whether or not
you're billed regular or roaming minutes - its Verizon who determines
this. But so far, they've "grandfathered" people who use a system
that's not on the recent PRL.

Bottom line, if it works for you, don't upgrade to another PRL unless
you have to.

Not True. I regularly force my phone to Sprint in the NY/NNJ market, & am
billed as Plan mins, & IN as well.

That's odd. I was on Long Island in July and forced my phone to
Sprint. It would NOT let me place calls on their network.

Harold,
So far, nobody contributing to this forum, including myself, has been
charged for roaming on Sprint PCS regardless of PRL. When VZ removes a
roaming partner from the PRL, they are attempting to reduce charges to THEM,
not trying to create new charges for YOU. No worry, mate.

Sometimes it depends on what is your home system. I seem to recall that
a few years ago a poster in northern California, I believe, reported
that if he had a Verizon number from the same area where a particular
roaming partner was not in the PRL, call attempts (by switching A/B
appropriately) using that system were rejected, but a Verizon number
from another system could make calls.
