What is PRL(Preferred Roaming List)?
PRL is when you're roaming, It tells the phone what tower to aim at for the
best reception depending on your carriers agreements. It lets the phone know
which towers to hit if more then 1 is available for service.
A PRL doesn't tell it which towers to locate. It's list of SIDs that your phone can use as native service and roaming service, it also included the associated channels.

Newer is not always better. For instance with Sprint that have that stupid fake SID that causes a rescan that kills roaming in some areas, that started around 60613 I think. In some areas they also removed EVDO roaming on Alltel, even though the native EVDO comes from Alltel and not Sprint. Smart eh? 60610 is what I run and works very well.
