How about someone sticky this thread, change it to "Latest PRL" or something and have all of the PRLs linked so people can have a regular place to get PROL updates or roll backs?

The list gets updated regularly as new towers are built and new roaming agreements are negotiated. An an update may do nothing for you at all if there aren't any changes in your area. A really old list may cause some you to not be able to roam in some area or your phone may try to roam onto towers that Sprint has no current agreement.

Close... it's a list of system ID's. Not a list of towers. As new towers are built you don't need a new PRL since those towers are listed as the same SID as the ones next to them.

For the most part the PRL is needed for roaming. It will not improve your native Sprint coverage or give you more bars like some CSR's will tell you.

And FYI... I remember reading 60658 fixed some roaming in Bermuda or somewhere close to that. And 60659 prepared for some upcoming roaming changes in Texas. These PRL changes all the time are probably due to the VZW / Alltel merger and their system changes.
