I'm in Ohio, I went from 52257 to 52297.

Please don't laugh, but what does a PRL update do for you and can you update if your phone is jail broken?

PRL = Preferred Roaming List

It's a database of system IDs housed in the phone that tells it which towers to connect to, in what order when you are away from the system ID designated as your 'home' system.

And yes, you can update if you're jail broken.

Updated. Went from 30266 to 30268

You still have an old Alltel plan?

Nice find on how to find the PRL version. Now if we could only find out how to get field test we'd be in business.

Found it on Howard Forums... saved it in my contacts

[Mizzy60]

Nice. Thanks.

Yes, I do. And it's $13 per month cheaper than the comparable Verizon plan.

Bump

There's a new update (6/19/11), follow the same instructions above (or below) to find the PRL # which should be 52341 after the update.

*228 option 2 is how to update and Dialing *#5005*4357# to see what version you have.

*#5005* isnt working.. just gives me the call cannot be completed.....

If you just did the *#5005* - you left off the very important 4357# part...

I just saved the whole *#5005*4357# in my phonebook as PRL Check - works every time.

i did dial the whole thing, was just being lazy, lol it works on my wifes ip4, wonder if it has something to do with ios 5

[Dustoff-00]

OK, wasn't having problems but decided to update anyway.

went from 52297
now have 52341

what is significant about this change?

[bizzob223#IM]

Kinda weird. I just updated mine and it is still 52297. Any idea why it wouldn't update? Is it area specifica?

I had to update twice for mine to work. *228 seemed to be acting weird the first time I did it

Nothing significant, just something that is good to keep up to date.

It updates the software that the phone used to determine which cell tower to use. It does not necessarily mean that your service will improve on every update but it if you travel its definitely wise to keep up to date. When Verizon adds new towers or adds more towers for roaming, you'll need the new PRL to access them.

FYI, *228 option 2 works on all Verizon wireless phone but the PRL version will be different (at least it is on my wife's Droid 2).
