New PRL Question
Does the new Verizon PRL just update my coverage areas and still include the 69 cent per minute roaming or does it update the coverage and remove my phone from being able to roam?
I have not contacted Verizon to make any contract changes.

It has to do with the price plan on your account. To get the new NO roaming ever you have to call in and request you be put on the new price plan codes
...
If you upgrade to the new plan, will the phone still roam in areas that it roamed before but you will not be charged for the roaming?
...
Your phone will not roam, if the area you are in was previously a roaming area, you will not recieve service (like Cingular)
...
I don't know if that's strictly true.
Could be wrong, but my understanding is that some of the old roaming areas are now 'on the network' areas (you get service + no roaming fees), and some are now no service. It depends on where you live.
Of course, its hard to tell what with the VZW site still showing the old AC maps... I'm going off the leaked map from Wireless Advisor.com. What's up with the VZW site? 😕

I know I just looked and they are still showing the old map. We at my store have recieved and put up all new NO roaming maps and priceplan booklets

so with the new no roaming, all Verizon will be doing is what cingular and nextel does? If you have service you have service if you dont then you dont?

It's true. You either get service or you don't

Then what differentiates Verizon from Cingular now... A point that alot of people on here used to bring up is that "At least I will have the ability to make a call, where on GSM you can't"? That was a key selling point for some people. 😳

All of our new posters say "The Nation's Largest Calling Area with out roaming charges"
Maybe the new coverage is bigger than Cingular's?? 😲

Doing that, is that a god idea? Will coverage be better then it was before you could roam? Me personally I like the roam feature because there was times where I needed to set my phone to analog to make a very important call when I was in the mountains. So can someone who has verizon tell me if service has gotten better due to that, gotten worse or is still the same. Honest answers

You can make your phone roam by modfiding the prl to add the sid in. I have done it before since i have 2 years of collection of prls.

Ah. And now we see the point of the whole exercise. 🙂

Not a rep, but I'd guess a couple of things: coverage and reliability. Plus probably EV-DO/VCAST and push-to-talk.
Comparing the new 'no roam' AC national map (have a copy from Wireless Advisor even though its not on the VZW site yet) to the Cingy GSM one, no roam AC appears to be bigger overall, probably in part because of the former roaming areas that are now part of the network proper. In a couple of states Cingy is better, but in more states VZW is better.
Reliability? Diehard Cingy folks will argue the point until they keel over and die, but things like Consumer Reports consistently point to VZW being more reliable and having fewer problems with dropped calls and overloaded networks. Matches personal experience too, and reflects...
