the rumor is *228 will have adverse effects on digital-only handsets, which the Moto e815 is Not, feel free to update its PRL while in the Alltel footprint

The E815 IS digital only... I would think that a fellow Alltel rep would know this...hell even phonescoop got this right on the first try.

You may be thinking about the V710. That is a Tri-mode phone.

The ota update system will recognize the phone model and update the phone with the right prl. It will even update a market specific prl if the number is from a specific line range. I have done this hundreds of times in multiple markets. I did it yesterday with a verizon LG VX8100, blackberry 7130e and a PPC6700. The PPC6700 was programmed with a former us cellular idaho number (im not in idaho) and it received the idaho evdo prl while the other two received the standard evdo prl.
