PRL is the phones Preferred Roaming List, its basically a database of all the towers available for it to use across the country.* Of the list of towers, it also tells the phone which one to use first. For example, Verizon has a tower across town and you have a crappy signal, but your standing right under a brand new tower from ACME telco, your phone won't even connect to the tower unless it is listed in the PRL, and then if it is listed, likely won't connect until your phone can no longer see the Verizon tower across town.*
The PRL is very easy to change, first thing is to download one to your phone.* Here is the one I am using at the link below, I don't think its totally up to date, but it's working okay for me right now, You can use this one or find another.* Once you download it, save it to your phone, doesn't matter where.

Open the dialer and dial ##778 and press se
nd, a screen will pop up, choose edit, and your password will be 000000.* When the page loads, tap view info, choose PRL, tap and hold on the top line that says update PRL then click edit.* Your phone will scan itself for PRL files, choose the Verizon PRL of your choice.*
After all that, click done, your phone will reboot and when it boots back up, right under the clock where it normally says my location, it should now show your weather in the town you are in.* This is called Manila, also known as TouchFLO 3D, they are one in the same.
Anyways, hope this helps, let me know how it goes and if you need anything else.
