I've activated multiple times and I'm in a BroadbandAccess area (I can download from mozilla.org at 110Kbps).

I'm in Bullhead City, Arizona / Laughlin, Nevada area. I am choosing "Activate" from the Verizon VZAccess Manager... it says it completes OK... but my PRL never shows updated. I've removed/re-inserted the card and even rebooted Windows XP.

PRL: 50383, ERI: 50020

One problem I'm having is that the Verizon access maps show Lake Havasu City as having 1X RTT but I get no service at all there on the card... so I decided to drive to Launghlin where they have Broadbandaccess to update my PRL... but no go.

My card was purchased in Florida and has a Florida phone number associated with it. had it for about 3 months, i'm guessing this is my original PRL...

Any hints or help appreciated.

I'm in Laughlin right now - had my card for several weeks and have traveled from NW Montana down to here. I was near Mountain Home ID and the cell phone was showing a couple of bars but the card - even with the Kyocera antenna - showed no signal. I had to move the antenna around and reset signal - and finally I would get one bar - but when it connected it would go up and stay connected just fine.

Mine is a FL card also - is PRL Version is 50427 - I don't even know what that is?

So far so good - I have to reboot once in a while or take the card out and reinsert - I never shut my computer off - just put it to sleep when I'm not using it.

Good Luck!

Ok, after trying 5 times last night... I tried this morning (in Laughlin in front of Colorado Belle casino) and it worked! The time it worked it was much quicker than the times it failed... so I wonder if Verizon had a "server down" that provides the PRL.

I now have 50427, hopefully this gives me 1X in Lake Havasu City, Arizona where I get no signal at all. The verizon maps show it has 1X (someone want to look at maps and confirm this for me?).

We were just across the street at the Ramada - left this morning and are now in Parker AZ - National Access here - a real letdown from Broadband!

Glad you got it going! I think when mine updated it did it automatically - before I even logged on.
