PRL 50288 vs. 50271

[Rich]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

PRL 50288 (AC II) has been released and here are the changes compared to
PRL 50271. Some of the details of the SIDs were obtained from
http://mallard.rainyday.mb.ca/~dialtone/ and www.mountainwireless.com
and http://www.ifast.org/SIDtables.htm

Some changes in priority and changes from A to D/A may not be noted
along with any other changes that I may have missed.

I would classify this as a very minor change. Just one change in
priority and 2 new areas. Please note that this is just for AC II (no
roaming).

VZW = Verizon native area - no triangle
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
PCS = PCS

----------------------------------------------------------------
The following FRM areas moved up in priority and are now above
01214 (Cellular 29 Plus), 01661, 01367, 00371 (Western Wireless)
----------------------------------------------------------------
1372 [D] FRM Midwest Wireless

CMA489B Minnesota 8 - Lac qui Parle

Interestingly enough, my wife activated her phone yesterday and downloaded
50271. Last night I updated my phone (activated on Tuesday) for curiousity
sake and got 50288. It doesn't look like it will make any difference in any
case as we are on the east coast.

Do you have to do something, i.e. take some action, to get on the AC2
network? Or do you get it automatically by being on an AC plan
already? I just updated my PRL and got 50284 in MI.

You need to renew your contract to get AC2, as it is a new plan.

OTOH, why would you want to?

Since they are in Michigan, they may want to to get expanded extended
coverage in the UP.

That is exactly why I'd want to renew as I have relatives in the
eastern end of the U.P. As I see the map, that would now be
included as non-roaming. Is that right?

That is correct. On AC I, Alltel was included as non-roaming on the
Eastern end of the UP, with AC II, you get both Alltel and RFB (Cellular
One) on the Eastern End of the UP.

I got on AC2 because we just signed up for VZW this past week and activated
the phones earlier this week. AC1 is no longer offered to new customers.

I have a LG 8000 phone and I still have PRL 50266. I live in Northern
Kentucky 20 miles south of Cincinnati Ohio. Dose it matter what area you
live in to determine what PRL you get? Is it because I have the EVDO on my
phone and V Cast? I have the new AC2 plan. I am on the 900 Min. plan for
59.99

No, your phone type and your billing plan determine the PRL you get.
