I finally got the Verizon prl to work with Alltel's QLM using our um150al.
I had to get the latest verizon prl which is 51248. I also had to switch from mobile ip off to preferred for it to work. I could use an antenna here as I am only getting 2-3 bars signal.

Speedtest for proof:

Check out that ping!!!

Hope it sticks around!

/me looks surprised.

I am gonna test this as well with a Verizon prl.

EDIT:

I just checked on the usual PRL page http://www.corolada.com/prl/ and wasn't able to find that Verizon PRL (only lower versions).

Can you direct me where you found that?

I just tried the 51143 off of:

http://www.corolada.com/prl/

and it works also so you can get that one for sure.

Was able to get it put in and it found the rA tower near me (which has a lower signal). I get -75 on the Alltel EVDO tower but -88 on Verizon rev-a tower (2 bars).

Anyways the speed test was a little downgraded due to the time 9:00 PM here and tower signal but still latency/ping is greatly improved.

Speedtest here:

Gonna pull a all nighter and grab some speed tests at 3 AM.

Also on the Verizon 51248 PRL, I seen you uploaded to RS but it got taken to fast but I got it off Megaupload...This link should help the rest of you out.

I've been experimenting with different prl's and I tried the one you suggest and it says unable to authenticate etc. Any hints on how to do this? UM175 - QLM 4.8.4

The thing is, I'm almost positive the tower I'm trying to connect to is a verizon one. Anyway, with an older prl I'm connecting to a revA tower, albeit with a rssi of -87dbm and 2 bars of strength. I have a Yagi directional antenna that I'm hoping will boost those numbers - just waiting on a connecter from the 3g store.

OMG!!! I did what Pioneer said about turning MOBILE IP off and used the PRL 51242 and this is what I got now.

Normally I got 1400 kb/s down and 300 kb/s up which was great but now I got almost double that!!! Ping is about the same. This is awesome!!! I verified that I'm on a different channel and PN as well. I know there is a Verizon tower nearby and I'm getting an RSSI of -70 now constant.

Probably a noob question, but where do you turn off mobile ip? In Quick Link Mobile? I didn't see a setting, but maybe I was looking in the wrong place.

You have to be disconnected and click on the QLM box and type ctrl + d, then you type in diagsmsi into the box.

I did a tracert and I'm definitely coming from Verizon and then it's routing to Alltel.
