PRL update?

[clockcycle]

My unit had 60654, just ran PRL update 60657, when that come out?

How do you do a PRL update on the Moment?

[mysparebrain]

Menu, Settings, About Phone, System Updates, Update PRL. It keeps giving me an error on mine though...

60657 was pushed to me last week.

[ajac]

anyway to do a roaming only mode?

Current is now 60658. The PRL can be downloaded if you initiate an update from the device selfservice program or as described above.

For people like me that hate when folks post acronyms without the courtesy of explaining what it is and just in case another non-techie reads the article and wonders WTF you are posting about. All in all it's a pretty prevalent and discourteous practice and makes posts like this almost worthless.

PRL (Preferred Roaming List)

This list tells your phone which towers to look for when establishing connection, including towers from other carriers that Sprint has roaming agreements with. As new EVDO towers are installed or new roaming agreements are reached, your PRL will become out of date because it won't know to hunt for these new towers. You may be in an EVDO area, but if your phone does not have the tower in the list, it will not know to attempt to connect to the new tower.

I just gotta say....Huh?? I don't think anyone was asking what a PRL Update was. Why the anger?
