Ok so here in NC we got the 53018 as well back in December but just after the iOS 6.1 update its being reported that the new PRL is 52996. Whats up with that? It was 52870 then 52986 then 53018 now back down a version number. Back when I had 52870 ,my wifes iPhone had 52986 (higher version number). VZW told me that the 52870 was the current one and SHE needed to update. Sure enough when I updated hers she went to 52870. Then we both got 53018 soon after.

Anyone have any idea on how these version numbers work these days? Used to be they got higher as they got newer. Apparently no longer the case as the new one is back to 52996 now.

I updated my PRL after reading your post and it is now 52996. I'm in the Piedmont Triad area of NC.

Theoretically, version numbers should increase over time... but as roaming agreements change, they might sometimes revert to an older version before updating to the latest in a certain area.

Sorry guys I transposed some numbers yes 52996 is current and 52986 was the other older one I had referenced. Anyway interesting how they now can go down and be more current. I am in Piedmont Triad as well. Seems this PRL is also in Greenville area of NC too.
