    Default Iphone prl to cricket, but not prgramming?

    I flashed the prl to cricket and had my meid added, but for some reason when I dial *22804 it doesnt even connect the call.. the prl is 32500, I'm running 4.2.8

    when I dial #228 it says "welcome to your wireless carrier" instead of welcome to cricket...

    there's been talk of mayube I have to do more than just edit my prl file? Something about changing an SID or something else in the PRI file?

    I'm not sure, but I tried changing the SID to 4729 like I saw in a post... still nothing happened..

    idk what to do, please help?

    I would ask this,

    Is 4729 the SID for your area?
    Are you in a cricket market? <------- Are there cricket stores in your town/city?

    I ask because looking at crickets coverage map, Roanoke, Virginia, is a partner coverage area. Meaning, if you do get service it could be terminated for abuse of the partner coverage. This could also explain why your not getting a connection to cricket (possibly no cricket coverage there only Sprints). Try going down to Greensboro and see if it works in the native cricket coverage. "I know it's a long drive" but it would be a good test on a theory.

    There's a cricket retailer in Washington DC and in Arlington, VA.. but I'm not really in the position to drive to either of those places... is there something else I could try? I already paid to set up my account and everything. MY prl has been flashed to 32500... but if theres some other settings I should try let me know.. I don't even know anything about SID so I don't now if its the right number for my area or not..

    I see, just an FYI Both DC and Arlington are AWS markets so a flashed phone will not function properly in those markets because it would be using partner coverage.

    When you setup the account did they assign you a local phone number for your area/city?
    I referred to Greensboro because it appears to be the closest cricket CDMA market to Roanoke, Virginia, take a look at the cricket coverage map.

    good luck and let us know how it works out. Some have had success with flashed phones on the partner coverage.
