Previously on my Verizon Blackberry, I updated my PRL occasionally by dialing *228 and selecting option 2. Is this necessary with the iPhone or does PRL update automatically when synced with iTunes?

After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I activated mine from iTunes. All I had to do is sync it, accept VZW's conditions, and bam....activated.
The OP was referring to the PRL and not activating his phone.
I did the *228 and pressed option 2. It said PRL Update Succeeded, then a pop up showed up "Service Update Complete" on my phone. My Verizon signal disappeared and then came up again.
I guess this is something that should be done once per month? Probably a good idea to keep roaming list updated.
