EVDO PRL info. Telus 0090:0000:.../26 Bell 0090:0900 or 0090:0e00../26

Open your EVDO prl file with RL editor, and look at the subnet ID.. (you need to drag it out a bit to see the whole thing)

0090:0E00:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/26 = Bell (subnet color code 1x)
0090:0900:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/26 = Bell (subnet color code 5x)
Look at the acq index for the channels used.
I have no idea what subnet color code is yet

0090:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/26 = Telus

This is similar to "SID" in the 1x network.
You can have one SID, and another EV SID (Subnet ID).
To check you are using the 'other network's' EV SID, check the "Active Set Pilot PN, the PN is in HEX, just convert it back to DEC and you will see your familiar "PN")

If you plan to clone EVDO, you can have them both go online at the same time by roaming one and not roaming the other. (make sure data roaming is 'free' with your service before trying)

As to the USA network, can't test (not in USA), but it is not that hard, just look with ##DEBUG your "channel Number" and figure out the reverse ..

Anyway if someone find this useful can reply more, I can try to help out.

To get "EVDO Rev B" type of channel bonding with Rev A networks one could:

Get 2 novatels, change the ESN according to shadowmite.., then have one PRL point to one subnet id, and the one to another, or multiple EVDO carriers,(more than 2). as to bonding the connection maybe use wingate/linux similar.

To receive calls while using a novatel,.. change the ESN of a phone to match the novatel, then set all the novatels to SCI = 2, and the phone to SCI = 0, since the phone has a faster check time, it would catch it. If not, your phone would still ring, but would "No caller ID", and when you answer it does not connect.

Canada is now has a terrible time with unlimited data because providers like Rogers are charging for over 60GB usage and enabling BPI+ (Docsis 1.1 - make cloning of modems impossible) and then finally Telus removing their $75 unlimited plans.
