Default Use Verizon PRL on EPIC?

So I got my EPIC and freakin love it, such an awesome upgrade from my crappy hero. My question though is that I know on the hero you could type in ##PRL# and put in your MSL code and you could force the phone to use a verizon PRL. This is really handy because at my work i get HORRIBLE 3G reception and much better with verizon so i usually switched to a verizon PRL whenever i was at work. I noticed that the PRL code does not work on the EPIC though, anyway to do that hack?

I would like to know the code for this as well. Although I want it because the latest prl (60670) gives me 1x and I would like to downgrade (60664) to get 3g access again. Thanks to anyone that can help.

yea same here, i tried the ##775# from the evo guide and it's obviously not working, and neither was the ##778#, so if anyone finds a code that works, please let us know.

I am sure this is possible, the question is when will it be done? Hopefully sooner than later.

Still waiting, I'm an xray tech and work in a hospital so that means lead walls Sprint service SUCKS pretty much everywhere in the hospital, however there is a verizon tower on the hospital so all my coworkers who have verizon get 3g literally everywhere, and when i had my hero it was soooo nice being able to switch PRL's and also have service, now with the epic i'm hurting BAD.

Perhaps this is gonna sound dumb, but I don't think you're looking to install the Verizon PRL, which contains the preferred roaming for Verizon users (ie, Verizon users don't roam on Verizon), but are simply looking to force roaming onto Verizon?

There's Roam Control in the market which forces roaming. Using it now. Seems to work.

he means is theres a prl you can load to exclusively use verizon but it is roaming however you get full 3g speeds not just 1x with normal roaming
