Okay so recently my Samsung GS3 updated the prl automatically and now I have no EVDO "3G" service off of Commnet Wireless?  Is this a cheap tactic to get people to use less data? It wouldn't even be a problem if the largest carrier in the USA actually builds more towers to handle native service. Will 3G access ever come back to site 411 on Badger Mt or should I just move on.  Sprint users still have access to 3G roaming through commnet fwiw.

You can try removing your sim for about 2 minutes then putting it back in to make it update the PRL again and see if it resolves - otherwise contact technical support to have them look into your area.

Thanks Crelin,

I had to drive back into a verizon coverage area, then had verizon rep change my prl back to what my old prl was and everything is working fine now.  The rep was talking about some sort of commnet wireless deal that removed evdo, so my guess is everyone who got the june 12th prl update wont get much 3g in park county colorado in the rural areas anymore.

I too lost the ability to make outbound roaming calls (could receive calls) in Park County, CO.  I just purchased a new phone hoping to get a better antenna; don't know if this will help. Customer Service had me do an update because I was getting charged for international roaming while calling within Colorado. 

Have they fixed the PRL problem?
