Is 56009 still the best prl with corporate 3g roaming? Or is there a new and better one?
Thanks

Question
Do you get better reception with the update or just a minor update.

I have read both here and elsewhere that Sprint has 2 sets of PRLs. One for most customers, 60683 and one for business that allows for 3G/4G roaming on VZW, 01115 or 01120. I talked with 2 Sprint techs who insist that 60683 is the newest and only PRL. I manually updated to both 01115 and 01120. I think the data speeds were better but the voice coverage was questionable. Several calls were choppy and I dropped 3 which didn't happen on 60683.
What are your thoughts/experiences on any of the 3 PRLs?
What are the latest PRLs?
Yeah 60683 is the most recent.... I've never changed my prl but I figure that 01115 would be more for people who live in desolate places.... also its more for raoming than it is for normal coverage.
Sidenote: he told you they only use 60683 because 01115 will get your contract terminated if you roam on VZW too much he did you a favor by lying

01115 wont do anything to your contract. Play dumb and then win. Pretend you don't know what a prl is. You only get in trouble with a hacked prl like 00001... otherwise you are fine on 01115. I am using that one fine. 01115 is a real sprint prl. If you roam over 300mb you can get in trouble... I just stick on sprint with 11115 but playing dumb probably will work.

Also you can't roam 4g to Verizon.

To top that off back when it came out I was on 60667 or something and tried to update prl after 7 seven times it finally did and actually put me on 1120 haha.

Just wondering for those of you running Cyanogen 9 alpha 2 for epic 4g touch which prl are you on?I am on 60608 and speeds are terrible.I may have to go back to ginger bread and update prl and profile.What do you guys think?

I have found that unlike HTC phones, I CANNOT make this phone roam on vzw
I flashed prl 00001 , my roomate has 4 bars on vzw and i still have 0 bars
You need to go into mo Ile networks and select national and international roaming the for systems select automatic.
Roaming is turned off by default.

Getting such bad data speeds like 512kbps on 3g and less. just wondering if I should do the perl and profile update just a hassle to go back to ginger bread and back again

512?? That's actually rather good for Sprint 3g.... going back and updating will not have any effect on you. I live in an area that is only 1x rtt and the best speeds I get are 20 kbps. Yes 20. I'd love to have those speeds.... So you really have nothing to complain about. It's 3 g. Not 4g...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
wish I could get more than 10kbps in Reno Nevada you'd think they had better coverage but every 5 steps I'm roaming or I have 1x now I found out sprint won't be doing 4g wimax anymore just lte so it makes our super expensive super fast 4g wimax phones worthless. Hate how they advertise blazing fast 3g/4g and very few people actually see he speeds.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Actually I rarely get 512 kbps its actually gone as low as 100 or less for the most part.Oh yeah 4g is a joke and non existent. It will connect and get slower speeds than 3g. Oh well.

Is there anyway to manually update your PRL? I'm still using an alltel price plan so my phone is using an attell PRL. Can I manually load a Verizon one to see if I get a good enough signal increase to justify switching to more expensive Verizon plans?

I haven't tried this personally as I have no need to, my reception is great. But there it is if you want to try.
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.

12121 all the way. No roaming - sprint 3g, roaming - another carrier 3g.
Old school non LTE 11115 works great on Sprint 3G or Verizon 3G for me. I don't have any LTE yet so I'm not missing anything
nope.. nothing works for me here in NY
tried 12121 and 11115. still getting 1x speed
anyone got this working in NY? anyone tries to combine prls? surely if I can get 3G speed with 00001 then it is possible to do when roaming as well?
help

Yeah I know. Don't need that. Just wondering, if 00001 works fine here, then there's gotta be prl that lets me do 3G roaming.
Tried 12123, same thing. 1x speed.
I am using 12124 and have 3g roaming (when available).

You can use any cut to change prl on a touch wiz Rom ...just use 00001 and change when you need update prl to foo back top sprint or try them all until you find one that works

Yeah I know. But I also hate touchwiz. And can't switch prls on CM10. I guess you can't have everything...
I was reading this in a different place. I flashed the newest modem (ma4), which works well. I'm on prl 25010 but I believe the one mentioned was 25013. I show the 4g lte available but my phone has never connected. I was wondering if I have to update prl also to be able to connect to lte. Also heard the new airave (mine is on the way) broadcasts lte 800?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Airave doesn't broadcast lte I have one and it only does 3g sadly but if your not getting 4g lte when you are in an area where it is available then maybe you should go into settings then hit more settings then tap mobile networks and make sure you are on CDMA/LTE and if you already are toggle it back to CDMA reboot then change it back to CDMA/LTE and reboot again and see if you get LTE if no try updating your data profile since prl are associated with 3g internet and roaming only I believe it shouldn't matter but I would always update both just in case

Actually, the PRL can enable and disable LTE, but I don't think there's a single PRL for the GS3 with LTE disabled. 800MHz 1x is a different story. Each new PRL since about 25006 or so has been gradually adding more 800MHz markets.
Also, even if an airave did broadcast LTE, what's the point if it's still using your home internet connection? You may as well just connect to WiFi. And as for LTE 800 on an airave, that's even more useless because the GS3 doesn't support 800MHz LTE, only 800MHz 1x.
I have 25012 now from last night.

Since 25012 I cannot connect to LTE now. Was working great on 25010.
It is probably a limiting PRL to reduce data traffic in certain areas for maintenance issues or Sprint released the wrong PRL like when I had an evo 3d a year ago.

I'm on 25012 and connect perfectly to LTE and getting great reception and signal.

Technically the PRL does not effect your normal cell service with sprint towers only if sprint releases a bad PRL. Now if sprint has a local roaming agreement with another cell site company it would affect your service. This is my understanding I maybe wrong.

I live 10 miles Northwest of Dallas my LTE goes in and out. I also barely get 3g at home. Im just in a bad cell tower area. Plus I have Verizon fios internet so my airave goes in and out too. So im screwed and have to use Wi-Fi.

No removals of LTE geographic areas in this PRL.
