I Need constint Roaming

I want to set my v3m to roam constantly because it cost me 25 cents a minute without roaming and 20 cents a minute on roaming that's write only ''20'' cents on roaming for some unexplainable reason Verizon's cheapest prepaid plan works like that. I'm going to use the phone in dingmans ferry pa (pike county) and nothing works there there's a local carrier called cellular one of north east pa so Verizon roams on there network, lets get to the point DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO TWEAK,HACK,SEEM EDIT so the phone SHOULD ONLY ROAM?

Don't know of a real way to do what you want without possibly 'bricking' your phone. Are you sure that is the terms of your plan, because I just went to VZW and checked their prepaid plans and didn't see anything that matched what you stated here.

not sure how this helps... but my telus flashed v3m (really a v3c due to flash, but i wont go into that) even after a *228 opt 1 and 2 always showed the roaming arrow. i will admit, i half assed the flash because i already had a working v9m and i got bored/frustrated with the v3m lol.

I was thinking here could just hose his .prl file somehow, or find another carrier's prl file and load it to the phone, but I still think somethings wrong with the details of his plan.

And, yeah the Telus flash is a real pain and tedious, and definately not worth it at all for the V3m, especially since it makes it a V3c.

I'll agree something is confusing as I've never heard that about VZW prepaid either. So until we have more specific i'll hold up on posting.

Real quick tho as I've always said Telus flashing is a real PITA that is for sure. One reason I never really got into posting alot about it as most folks will not figure it all out and getting it working correctly very easily that is for sure.

its a flash that i got working completely (or rather, as completely as ppl have) except i had a lot of problems getting various stuff to work in java, so i eventually bailed, i mean isnt that y u go to TELUS? anyway, im perfectly happy with USCC on my v9m, i really use my phone more for music than games, and i think we can all agree that telus music player terribad by comparison.

Why dosent anyone find the same thing that i found?

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=prepayItem&acti... navigate to the bottom of the page where it says Additional Calling Plan Information there you'll navigate to were it says ''Domestic Roaming Rate is 20¢ Per Minute'' and a Verizon rep told me the same only 20 cents roaming per minute no matter which plan. (the local carrier that vzw uses to roam is Cellular One Of North East Pa)

OK, now I see what you see. Hmmm. Got me stumped in a way. I would say try to find a way to get a Cellular One of NE PA .prl file, but it won't work anywyas because from what I understand all of Cellular One's main services are GSM - oops, I take that back, just went to their web site and they offer CDMA phones, so I guess if you could aquire one of their .prl files from a V3m and load it successfully to your phone, it MIGHT accomplish what you wish.

But you should FIRST back up your existing .prl file, HOWEVER let's also see what pyde has to say as well, 'cause he always has some gr8 info as well.

In theory if you could find the correct CDMA PRL file that should do the trick but I can't say. Personally I try at all cost back in the day not to roam so I've never really looked into the idea of trying to force a device to roam as in my case it would make no sense being I'm on post paid.

I haven't been here in a while but you could try tracking a PRL down from this link. But as mentioned for sure backup the one you currently have so you could put it back if need be.
