It is my understanding that the PRL tells your phone what towers to use in each area, roaming or not. Obviously, then, Sprint PRLs give Sprint towers priority over any other towers. And, if you load a Verizon PRL onto a Sprint phone, you will end up always roaming, as the Verizon PRL will tell the phone to use Verizon towers when it can.

Of course, as you can see, I'm new here. Anyone with more experience want to clear this up?
