If you are a Midwest Wireless customer with an Audiovox 6600, you may have trouble authenticating for data when roaming on Sprint. Follow these instructions for creating a new Alltel connection.
Start/Settings/Connections
Tap the Connections applet
Tap Manage existing connections
Tap the New... button
Enter a name for the connection "Alltel 3g"
Leave modem at Cellular Line
Tap Next
Enter #777 as the dialed number
Tap Next
In User name: (yourtendigitphonenumber)@alltel.net
In Password: alltel
Click Finish
The radio button should be selected next to Alltel 3g in the resulting control panel. To test it press on this line and choose Connect from the pop up menu. It also seems to allow authentication on Verizon Wireless. (credit to greenlime812)
