PRL stands for Prefered Roaming List. In simple terms , it tells the phone what towers to ping from (ie use) and when to switch to roaming service and such things as that . Newer PRL's will contain the latest towers and also the new towers sprint "rents" from verizon.

EDIT: Ha .. my bad , dummy me didnt realise there was a second page to this thread ... sorry for repeating what the last .. hmm 5 people said :/

Sprint upgrades towers and then updates the PRL. If they upgrade towers in Florida & New York and you live in Kansas you will get no benefit unless you travel there. There is a website that lists the towers that were upgraded, EVDO.something? I think, but I usually update my Network Profile/PRL about once a week. It doesn't cost anything and it can't hurt.
