1X to 1XEV

[sdelthon]

i dont know if anyone else is located in the area between mason city and waterloo IA?

just a rant but i'm really getting sick of the towers around my area i only get 1X and my girlfriend with the curve (US CELL) is getting EV. i called alltel and they said with the merger with verizon has stopped upgrades to the network till September wondering if anyone else has looked into this.

Alltel's EV service right now between MC & Waterloo ends with the Rudd tower; the area around Decorah is EVDO as well. And Rev.A at that.

Check your PRL version - if you're close enough to Waterloo's VZW system, you should get EVDO from that - otherwise, as you've heard - further upgrades are coming later... at the very least - do a *228 and use the option to update roaming...

Do you EVER get 1XEV? As in, can you travel to areas where you get 1XEV? Also, is it 1X or 1x?
