With the Forced Update; is it *228, dial, then press 80? I tried it both ways and I still can't download a new PRL list. I just keep getting the same-old message that my phone couldn't be updated at this time.

#PMT (768) - make a payment

I was wondering what those things meant for the past two years, lol. Thanks so much! Now I've been enlightened.

*228 80 means that you dial *22880 (in other words, 80 is part of the dial sequence), then press Send.

Wow I've been missing out I guess.....

I am thinking about switching to Verizon. Can I use my unlocked phone with their SIM card?

Interesting...Gonna try these out

[*]*228 80 - force update, ignore fails[*]*228 99 - force seconday tower update[*]*228 00 - original tower update

What are these updates? Is this to make your signal stronger? My mother was told about something like this and I thought she was mistaken.

When I did the "00" it failed, but then again, so did the "80."

Thanks for the tips.

Thank you for the info I don't know how many times i have deleted voice mails instead of saving them
