Sprint PRL 60650
 

So Sprint's pushing new PRL's again. The latest for our handsets is 60650. This PRL is used on the Titan, Touch, Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, and Palm Treo 800W.

Before someone asks, PRL = Preferred Roaming List. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_roaming_list)

To load the new PRL you can A) dial *2 and have your account flagged for a PRL update, or B) you can follow the steps below:

1. On your dial pad, dial ##PRL# (or ##775#)
2. Enter your MSL (if you don't know it, I'm sure you can find a program that can do it for you)
3. Tap "Menu" in the lower right corner
4. Tap "Edit"
5. Select "Browse" and locate the PRL file.
6. After selecting the PRL and loading it, select OK. Handset should power off then back on.

Thanks! Now...to find that program that gets your MSL.

Can't wait for the posts to say... hey that made my coverage better! It picks up more towers now. LOL! Again read the wiki! ;)

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Actually the PRL doesn't have any impact on american roaming. It's only affecting international roaming coverage. Heh, so it doesn't really do much good to update. Just thought I'd post the PRL anyways incase anyone wanted it.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Actually there's an area that i travel through to and from work everyday where theres usually not any reception. As of last Wed. when i travel through that area I have full reception but I didn't update my PRL but I did just receive an insurance replacement.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Load up the FieldTrial app or do the ##DEBUG code on the dialer. Look at the SID in that area, I bet it matches your SID at home or work. They just simply added a tower.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

I figured that much simply b/c i've been driving through that area for a lil over 2 yrs.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

you're definitely wrong. I work for sprint and every prl update, you can check exactly which areas are affected.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Well once I get to the browse part, it says folder "all folders" and type *.prl but there aren't any prl files listed either under all folders or any of the individual folders.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Why can't we just hit the "Update PRL" icon in settings? Does it not work?

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Just for International Roaming? So, this PRL update was made just for Canada users, and visitors?? I think not.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

After downloading it to phone,you must extract it anywhere. Before updating -browsing

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

No kidding. This works fine for me.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

I don't see that option in settings

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

What he said.

edit - oops. my new Touch Pro has it.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

I just called Sprint and asked for the PRL, they sent it to my cell right away!

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Canadian users? Where the heck did you get that out of my post? (You know there's CDMA elsewhere in the world other than Canada...) Jeeze. Oh well I'll post the full documentation on it tomorrow when I'm in my office.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Moved thread to "General" so hopefully other Sprint users can make use of this file.

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Thanks so much! First manual PRL update I've ever done. Luckily a nice Sprint tech revealed my MSL months ago and I noted it down. Probably can't hurt...

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Just used your guide to update from 60652 to 60654. Thanks!

Re: Sprint PRL 60650
 

Are PRLs universal? Can you safely load this on any Sprint phone or only certain ones?
