iPhone 5 on sprint???

[GoldenGlove]

I don't think it's made it's way into the city yet. They're basically working from the suburbs and moving in to the city. Downtown will be the last of the upgrades.

Here's a forum with a lot of news on this shyt. I get annoyed by all the shyt on here though because at the end of the day, all the info in the world doesn't mean a damn thing to me if my service isn't working.

Network Vision/LTE - Chicago Market - Sprint 4G Rollout Updates

That's a big ass thread on the Chicago market. There's also a thread and info on how to switch your phone's radios to make it pick up an LTE signal easier.

Is it possible for a non jailbroken iPhone to always roam to Verizon towers?

Doubt it. You'd most likely need an app from the Cydia store to switch your PRL if at all available.

1. Jailbreak the iphone

2. download iFile from Cydia ($4 or google how to get it through other means), also turn data roaming ON

3. download the 00001.prl from this link http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/add46/00001.prl (this is from a post over on xda by techknow)

4. rename the PRL file "carrier.prl"

5. ok this is one of the important parts, you need to put the carrier.prl in System/Library/Carrier Bundles/iPhone/Sprint_US.bundle and overwrite the existing carrier.prl in the folder, you can do this either by using open ssh or use ifile,in ifile you may copy and paste from dropbox or connect to your computer via wifi. I also would recommend putting the prl in the OTA sprint folder too, some people have been having problems and this may help.

6. in the folder that you copied the prl there is a file called carrier.plst, click it then in the menu that comes up click property list viewer, then scroll down till you see "PrlPushFlag" change to yes, click back at the top and go to the OTA folder if you put the PRL in there, then repeat the PrlPushFlag flag instructions, press back again to go up a folder and fully turn off your phone(so that you slide to power off) simply turning off your screen or a respring will not work.

7. turn your phone back on, you should see "searching" at the top, it should go to "no service", after you see "no service" go back to the carrier.plst and change the PrlPushFlag flag back to "no" and click back again

8. turn your phone off and back on again.

9. you should be roaming on verizon, it will say sprint at the top but you can confirm you are roaming by dialing *2 and you should get "welcome to verizon" also if you go to about and click on carrier info you should see your prl as 1.

10. you can revert back to the standard prl and not roaming by dialing ##UPDATE#


Warning: Remember this will use roaming data, sprint may cancel your contract and they WILL charge you the ETF fee even if you are a dikk to them. Generally they will only may warn people after they pass the 300-500 MB threshold. I am NOT responsible for any financial or technical harm this may cause you, use at your own risk. As always there is a risk that you may brick your phone due to a mistake or some other reason, again I nor iPhone-developers are responsible for this

I have the iPhone 5 on sprint. I get about 1.5 M on average and with unlimited data I don't have to worry about usage. I would never have a smart phone on a limited data plan if you could avoid it. What's the point of having faster speeds just to rush to a low cap?
