Hi. I've found this site to be very helpful in my attempts to activate an Alltel HTC Hero cdma on the Page Plus network.
I finally got the phone to make calls, but it says that I'm roaming - there's a triangle above the signal strength meter. I checked it by making a call and it charges me the roaming rate of $0.29 a minute. I think I need an updated .prl file, but I'm not sure.
I'm able to send and receive text. I cannot send or receive MMS or connect to the internet.
Maybe someone here can help me. Please
Phone will be used in Berlin, WI 54923 (Near the following cities: Appleton, Oshkosh, Neenah, Fond du Lac)
Original phone details:
Alltel network, but Alltel is no longer in my area. Alltel customers were sent to Element One. I don't know if this affects what I'm trying to do.
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202900444
SIN/NID 1/65535
MMS Server url mms.alltel.com/servlets/mms
I rooted the phone and got my MSL (000000) number and made the following changes
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202799238 (from Page Plus)
SIN/NID 240/65535 (got "240" from Page Plus, they couldn't give me a NID number so I used the same one)
MMS Server url mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (got this from searching on forums)
I downloaded a .prl file via KittyWireless manual programming instructions kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html
I updated the PRL from my sd card by dailing ##775# and "commit changes"
When I make a call, I'm always asked to re-enter the 10 digit phone number I'm trying to reach. I've tried the following OTA programming numbers *228, *22800, *22888, *22890, *22891. I always get the following "Message AP 32 Welcome to US Cellular ..." It should be Verizon or Alltel, right?
I thought I might be using the wrong NID number so I tried 65335 (which I think is for Verizon), but it didn't make a difference. Still roaming and same messages when I try OTA programming.
I don't know if this means anything, but when I dial ##DATA# to edit mode I can choose either Data Profile, EVDO, or Advanced. If I choose EVDO, I get a blank screen. I can't make any changes.
So, I'm thinking I need a different prl file. Would this affect my data connection for internet and MMS too? What do you guys think? Can someone direct me to the right PRL file?
I've spent hours trying to get this phone to work... if you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks!
PRL Update...
Hi there..
I've found the following PRLs useful when using Sprint Phones on Pageplus, so perhaps they will help with the Alltel Hero. I've used 51425m on my Alltel Hero on Pageplus. Worked like a charm. The 52505m is the latest VZW EvDo PRL.
Noticed the thread is old, but may help anyone else trying to do this.
Ive been trying to get 3g data working with my Nexus S on Pageplus.
All I can get is either a good 1X data connection or a slow, intermittent 3g connection.
I will try these PRL's when I get home.
Thanks!
any luck on getting this working yet ??? I can not find any solutions anywhere
You contact your carriers

Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
Ryan
sorry, wrong category..
ok guys heres the deal. I got this used captivate of ebay. when i put my att sim card in it i cant get no service. when go to settings>about>status this is what it says :
-Phone number : it shows the number that is used with sim card
-network unknown
-signal strenght -111dBm 1 asu
mobile network type : gprs
- service state-out of service
- roaming-not roaming
-mobile network state - disconnected
IMEI matches
I called att, and they asked for IMEi, phone number and all that, tried to help me somehow, but none of that stuff didnt work, and they said that its probably problem with phone. Does anyone can help me with this ??
Try resetting to default the APN.
Go to Settings/ Wireless and network/ Mobile networks/ Access Point Names/ then Menu button and select Reset to default.
If that doesn't work...what does it show underneath Baseband version ?? If nothin- then flash a modem. If somethin- then flash a different modem.
Hopefully one of these will help ya.

try a factory reset with the sim card in, it should pull apn settings from sim.
flash one of Stock ROMs, they come with AT&T APN preselected.
SauromKK4 "one-click" for example.

Yesterday on morning i was talking on phone and after 1 minutes 17 sec phone loses carrier signal and after 2 sec of losing signal the phone reboot automatically then was very slow. I rebooted the phone, and it showed that havent SIGNAL there and instead CARRIER SIGNAL i see the circle with diagonal line there.
I wait some minutes for the signal but again the same, i make some restarts but again the signal doesnt work, just displayed circle with diagonal line. Then i make RESET FACTORY and after configuration was the same again, i update to nougat 7.0 but again was the same error, i downgrade to ANDROID 6.0 but again doesnt work.
The wi-fi works perfectly with no problem, but I can't make a call, send sms, or mms, or use mobile data like 2g 3g 4g lte or gsm.
Any ideas how I can turn the radio on? I've rebooted several times and toggled the Mobile Data button, but that isn't doing anything.
Other details are:
In SIM CARD status:

Have you looked in system settings to verify that your network/SIM settings are correct?
Here are some dialer menus for S7 and S7 Edge. You're looking for the menu that let's you check the status of your radio and allows you to turn the radio on/off. See if it will let you turn the radio back on.

Also, try a different or new SIM.
Are you sure your service wasn't disconnected by your carrier? Have you called support?

If you read their first post, they still have their IMEI number, it is still listed where it is supposed to be in settings.
Checking IMEI would have been my first suggestion also but they have IMEI so I didn't bother mentioning it.

Did this just happen on its own, did it happen after you updated the device?
If you bought the device used and you ran into this issue when you tried to activate it, it might be a device that someone didn't pay the phone bill and the devices blacklisted. If this is the case, there's nothing you can do until/unless the previous owner's existing bill is paid, then the block will be removed.
