I have had this problem for a couple of years (I travel with work up and down the east coast), and have always struggled with my card hopping between EVDO and the 1xRTT network. This post solved it!

I'm travelling across the USA and I've run into this network jumping with no end in sight. I called verizon and they were no help at all. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY HIDE THIS!?!? A million thank yous.

I have been experiencing the same problem with my 595U card and the verizon techs have been absolutely no help. When I asked about disabling NationalAccess connectivity and only use BroadbandAccess, I was told that can't be done due to the card being designed to be backwards compatible. Thank god I did not listen to them. I have my 595U plugged into my desktop computer, so I never roam and therefore never need the roaming capabilities of NationalAccess. And considering Verizon is bilking it's subscribers $60 a month, I refuse to pay that price for NationalAccess... which for all intent and purposes is far worse than even AOL dialup. You and your un-named friend are hero's in my book. Thank you. :)</p> </div>

JeffGr, this is exactly why I have posted this here. Verizon is the only carrier that insists on hiding this sort of thing.

In the Sprint connection menu, it is on the settings screen in the Connection Manager software. The settings screen does have a pull-down that you have to switch from "General" (the default) to "Sprint PCS Vision", but it isn't really hidden on an advanced screen or anything like that (and it certainly isn't password protected). The "Mode" section of the dialog gives you radio buttons for "Automatic", "EVDO" or "1xRTT Only".</p> </div>
