Ok,. So I have been getting really bad sprint service at my home. I recently just found the thread on how to update to custom PRL's on my phone. I am wanting to get some ideas from everyone about what custom PRL works best for them for roaming. Verizon has better coverage in my area but need some info about which specific PRL I should use. Any extra info would help. I live in the cincinnati,ohio area.

hey im curious to know if the evo on boost uses the same prl as sprint users?
and if so can some one try to flash the verizon 0001.prl on their boost evo phone to see if it works...
im thinking about getting the samsung galaxy prevail by boost but i know they use sprints data and in my area all i have is 1x....
thanks guys!
It's a pain to flash back to a sprint rom just to update the prl so I'm going to assume some things here. Boost mobile users can't roam on verizon like sprint users can which tells me that using a verizon prl will not work. But maybe someone less lazy will try it.
I'm in my cottage where I normally only get one bar of service and I look at my friends on Verizon who get full service and get jealous. Is there any possible way I could force roaming? I have looked at old threads and gathered the Roam Control app, but that isn't working on my rooted phone. Any help?

I almost always stay on a forced verizon prl

No longer available in the market, but Roam control is the way to go.

Used it to force roam in low signal areas, while on a 6,000 mile road trip. Requires root.
Yup....roam control. I was messing with it earlier and Prl 11121 working wonders
Good point, I forgot to add. Without a custom sprint PRL you cannot 3g roam. Use this thread:

and load up a corporate prl, buy roam control and you are good to go.
If you update your prl via settings after manually updating it, it will reset to a non corporate prl.

Thanks! And to all, thank you! This site has been very helpful on my Android adventures. I can't believe I ever wanted an iPhone... Dark times... Ugh.
had same issue, in ohio and sig was always hit and miss except when in columbus which was 5 min drive. was very frustrated with sprints data so i did the prl and forced roam and they shut down the e4gt line but was able to keep the 2nd line (funny cause it was a share business plan but they treated it as the 2nd line was seperate) either way they said i would no longer be able to use the roamed number w sprint at all, and the sad thing is they didnt even contact me to tell me they were going to do it....so much for showing they were in the communication business lol. anyway went to verizon w both and i couldnt be more thrilled although i dont care for verizon from the Envy flip fone days due to data plans were not unlimited. however w the new S4 and verizons LTE towers, i have AWSOME LTE DATA everywhere now (mostly) where sprint only has 3g with a pathetic at best 2 mb download speed, I now burry the speedtest.net app needle at 20+ Mbs and with the LTE which also means you can surf and talk which is great when you using the free wifi to go online w the computer and still call clients while doing so. Do what you need to do just switch back when your done so you dont go over 3 gb a month, even tho they say 300 Mb. Good luck and long live the E4gt and wimax hacks, But loving my S4....GO SAMSUNG!
can anyone recommend any prls for better 3g on sprint? or is this not possible
Sprint can be god awful. Id get a new carrier if I was you!
I am waiting to get this phone because I need to be able to roam off Verizons 3G in my area. Therefore I need a proven method that allows me to switch my PRL to a corporate PRL. Anyone figure out a working way for this yet?

24006 didn't really do too much for me. I used 00002 that I was using with my Epic 4G Touch and I'm always on Verizon Evdo with full bars

Oh and the3rd's link is still fantastic for the "how to" part.
Just be careful not to roam on verizon too much. You dont want sprint canceling your service.
Hi there newbie Dave here wondering if anyone has the Verizon prl 59421 or know where i could get it. Thanks in advance for any help given. Im currently flashing my SPC-l710 gs3 to a verizon prl.

I'm not seeing anything on Verizon prl 59421 on XDA.
have you seen ? [GUIDE] How to manually change the PRL on the Sprint Galaxy S III by elfhater
Questions about this device should be asked in Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or a related thread
I have seen it before but cdma workshop freezes up and the device disconnects from the com port until i unplug and plug it back in.

Moved.
I personally use the 56xxx series PRL on my Sprint devices, it's a Corporate PRL and allows you to roam on Verizon 3G.
I'm not 100% sure if a Verizon PRL will work on a Sprint device, unless it's been modified in some way, but that's above my pay grade lol.
Here is also a good thread for finding different PRL's
