Wireless Terms ????

1. It's also called reprovisioning. Basically that's a cure for when your phone isn't ringing on incoming calls. I know you dial *18 to do that on Sprint. It's almost like pinging in computer terms.
2. IRDB is also called a PRL in CDMA-world. It's just a list of towers that tells your phone which carrier to prefer when it is roaming in other areas.

 

first off CINGULAR seriously pissed me off....i used to work for them and heres a warning stay away from gsm ! My opinion is backed by facts first off if you have the gait phone that was your first mistake. So many of them have come back cause it is horrible....the gsm only phones pull in the signal better. And those phones block out sid 25 (thanks bobolito) so you cant even use at&t's towers whitch is what you are using. Personally i think cingular needs to go.....they use t-mobiles gsm towers and at&t's tdma towers seriously get your own equipment CINGULAR your second rate and always will be. Verizon is it CDMA 800mhz building breaker......cant touch it......cingular.....well thats enough said......

and you cant flash a gait phone.....or a gsm phone..at least cingular wont do it (big suprise)

irdb is internal roaming database basically tells the phone what towers i can use I think can someone correct me on this ?
