I'm interested in being able to roam on Verizon, since Sprint is a POS at my school and home, and I'm constantly loosing messages, and data speeds are very sad. Anyways, I did a quick search and found a guide on changing the PRL to Sprint's "Corporate PRL" which apparently grants roaming with 3G data on Sprint, but it seems as if though that guide is old (Sept 19 from last year) and I'm not sure it'll work on my ROM (AOKP JB) So, does that guide still work? Is it safe? If no, what are my other options?
Also, how much minutes/texts/data usage would piss off Sprint? I've been meaning to switch for a while now...

I don't want to get too deep into this since there is a PRL thread in the forums, but doesn't that one force you to roam all the time? Sprint has a roaming limit of something like 200MB a month; if you go over that they can and frequently will cancel the rest of your contact. Some people do that on purpose, which I don't recommend or advise. If you just want to use your phone when you don't have much of a signal, use a PRL like 11115 along with the app Roam Control, that way you control when the phone roams.
yes.. oooo2 or w.e is a verizon prl roaming 100%.. i used the sprint corp prl i think 11124 or something which wasnt roaming while set to home only. but would have verizon 3g while in roam only with roam control which is compatible with jb now... however if using verizon eventually u will get a call from sprints roaming team.. and the prl thread is right. just need to be on a tw rom and when u go back to a aosp rom prl will stay until u update it

I use the 11119 PRL that works great when I'm roaming... I roam on Verizon with 3g data and everything, but I'm on Sprint the rest of the time. It works great.

So we are out on vacation and I can't get a 3G signal. I am using Syndicate Frozen ROM but my wifes unrooted phone gets 3G. It does work within the Sprint network but not when in roaming. Any fix for this? I also can't update my PRL here. Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I believe that the unrooted stock rom erroneously reports 3g no matter what data signal it is receiving. Have you/she ever seen it not report 3g?
Have you run a speed test on your wife's unrooted phone. She might not be getting 3G either. Most Sprint smartphones will only display 3G as the network you're on no matter what it really is (sometimes 1x, a 2G technology!).
If she is getting at least 300kbps then she does have 3G. To get yours to work on it you need to manually update your PRL.
The attached 11114 PRL has 3G roaming nearly everywhere
Will 11114 still work wen my current PRL is 60680? Also my wife does not have a speed tester app on her phone however she is able to load things faster than I am.

It doesn't matter which PRL you are currently on, if you do what it says in the link you will get 11114 PRL.
However, Sprint will roll you back to 60680 you don't freeze system updates, which you can do with Antek Application manager (in the market).
So with 11114 will sprint be complaining of roaming like on 00001 or be just fine.

If you go over 300mb while roaming it certainly is a possibility. You can still do that without this or the 00001 prl. Usually they only get mad if they notice you aren't using the sprint network at all anymore or if you do 1gb+ roaming per month.
Well as an update I never had the chance to change my PRL and give it a shot. I figured it wasn't worth making the wife mad at me for messing with my phone while we were on vacation. I still would like to know why this happened. I almost never go anywhere that I don't have the Sprint network. Thanks for the help anyways everyone!!
I don't understand why it doesn't work. I put Samsung as the phone device under settings. It just gets LOS whenever I hit roam. I emailed the dev shortly after purchase and he hasn't responded.
Any suggestions?
I'm on PRL 60687.
EDIT: FF02 radio, CM9 alpha 5 (no mods added).
EDIT2: It hasn't work for me on GB or ICS Touchwiz leaks either. Is it just because of my location? I have relatively good sprint signal at home, but I like to use the roamcontrol at my cousins house.
First of all, there is no point in roaming on Sprint's network with their PRL. It will only give you 1G speed anyway. You need to change your PRL according to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521343
The 11119 PRL is the one that is normally recommended. It allows you to roam 3g on verizon's network.
That being said, roam control doesn't seem to work for everyone for some reason. You may want to go back to a stock modem and GB if it's not working for you on ICS. I use it on a stock based FE22 ICS kernel but I'm still on EL29 modem. (The ICS modems never seemed to make a big difference for me so I quit trying to keep up )
If you get stuck or need more help, reply here, PM me or reply in the PRL forum for specific help with that too.
After you hit roam, go to your settings and go to your roam settings. Turn off your roaming and then back on. Then disable your roam gaurd. It won't show the roaming icon but it does work. I checked my roaming usage and I am at 2.5GB of roaming. I'll probably get kicked soon.

ok First sorry for posting this but im too frustrated trying to search with my horrible signal on my device at home ..
my signal was excelent i moved a few miles down and now its practically USELESS
im on ics ota at the moment (exchanged phone)
im just wondering if anybody has had any huge successes with using different modems (please keep in mind before posting if you so choose I have 0-1 bars all over the and house and in the backyard , i dont think a different modem would give me 5 bars ya know )
i seen around here and app that was called roam control i think , but i had no need for it as i used to get 10+ mbs but i cant find it anymore i thought it was free ?
dude i just wanna go on youtube craigslist and FB n stuff like i used to
tried the 3/g4/g speed tweak already
thanks in advance
Oh yeah forgot to say sprint says there's excellent 4g coverage in my area and it must be my house. Hella dumb !i can't even pick up a signal let alone 4g

hey. i think u have two options, well actually three if you consider jumping ships.
you can use the following link and push a prl to your phone that enables you to roam on Verizon, you will need RoamControl ($3.99 sold here http://www.roamctrl.com/) to manage between roaming and home state.
Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898628
be careful with your roaming usage. they WILL terminate you if you use it a lot. i believe Sprint allows 800 roaming minutes and 300 MB of data per month or at least that is what i was told. the 3g speeds are slow and you cant roam on their 4g because its lte and not wimax.
Or you can call sprint and ask for an ariave. somewhere in these forums there is a post with the direct number to order it from Sprint. the airave only work at your home and you must have internet connection. if you nag enough they would not charge you for it.
Good luck to you.
Edit: Airave Number
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407446
A lot of us are getting 0-1 bars.
Sprint has either turned down the tower reception, or this phone just sucks.
I had 2 HTC 4g devices before this, and I had FULL bars all the time in my house. Then I got this phone, and 0-1 and barely can connect to wifi, sitting next to my router.

Everyone talks about 800 roaming minutes and 300 mb roaming data, idk but my contract with sprint and account on Site say otherwise (Unlimited Roaming data and 1500 roaming minutes) why yours is different? I'm in Puerto Rico.

Great post. I need this because my parents live in a former Alltel area and I get zero coverage for Sprint and will not access the tower. If you want to go back to original prl...search for 25006 and follow same steps in OP.

We call him St. nicholaaaas around here. I went back to stock and flashed 24006. I swear 3G is better even on stock. I don't know about switching but I'm getting better signal and speed. No Sprint 4G in my area.
I can speak to the performance on CM10 yet because of course after flashing stock I forgot to say yes to disable stock restore boot so trashed all my nightly backups and have yet to get a good nightly install. But hey, I'm getting very adept at restoring stock. I'm glad I went back for another reason. The pleasures of CM10 are more evident after having gone back to the original Samsung rendition.
Thanks for the PRL.

Thanks for this. Awesome having PRLs! The Verizon ones in Jax, FL go LoS often (connected to network, but loss of data connection). I haven't tried 01337 yet, though. I don't think LTE is affected by PRLs due to it being a GSM technology.

No need for a hands free activation, you can do as you mentioned and just go into your update PRL from Settings and get it done that way to get back to your 'stock' PRL.
From my experience, disabling data first will cause this to stick more times than not.
As another guy said, use Google to search for the anycut apk and you can create a shortcut that way. It's listed as 'PRL Write' within the app. Once you do this, you can just click that shortcut, hit the button and the phone will reboot. Not a big time saver, but one nonetheless depending on how often you're planning on using this.
If you use the 00001.prl (VZW only) it will show up as '1' in 'About Phone'. The preceeding 0's are omitted for some reason.
For me personally it's the only one I use as Sprint doesn't have a roaming agreement with VZW in Chicago, so if I have a bad signal, this is my only choice.
For those of you just changing a PRL to enable 3G data when you roam, let's say naturally, you probably won't need to revert back at all. In that case, just freeze System Update so Sprint doesn't roll you back after a day or two.
Hi. I was waiting for Roam Control to work on S3 to be able to force roaming whenever I get bad 3G speeds on Sprint, which is quite often.
So now this day have come, but I can't find prl file that would allow 3G speed while roaming! I tried 24006 - still get 1x when roaming.
Modded prl like 00001 etc will just connect to Verizon network full time. Not what I need. And even with this modded prls whenever I'm roaming, still getting 1x speed on Verizon.
Is there no hope? No way to get 3G roaming speed?
12121 is working great for me in Milwaukee. None of the prl's starting with 2 have me 3g roaming. Neither did 11115, which works fine on my S2.
