Why would you want to?

I do just the opposite with an 800mhz Verizon phone that I force to PCS
oly or directly enter the Sprint Channel number.

Geting into the sub menus (debug or programming) and finding an option
is where to start.

I think with Sprint the easist way is to sign up for a roaming
inclusive plan.
I'm guessing that will change the PRL to include more 800mhz access.

Somehandsets just don't have the option to force other networks,
somelike the Audiovox 9500/9900 have a huge menu of network preference
options to set the handset to prefer or avoid.

IIRC, it's been ahwile. With phones that don't lock the
programming/debug menu access, then there's also the trick of resetting
the SID to the carrier of your choice system.

Mountain wireless.com might have some more info on SPCS manipulation.
IIRC, Sprint users.com forum could be another source for more info.

I thought Sprint phones are usually locked to prevent access to sub
menus, but I could be mistaken.

Some handsets like the Motorolas, even unlocked, just don't have the
ability to choose even "digital only" networks, let alone, "PCS only".

FYI, the Roaming menu of some of the newer Samsungs, such as the 740 and
760, has "Sprint only", "Automatic", and "Roaming"; the last choice is
instead of "Analog". So on those models, you can force roaming and you
might get digital.
