Sprint just released a new PRL, number 51083. To get it, click on the phone button and then number pad. Once there, type ##873283#, and then hit the Call button. Hit OK at the two prompts and then wait for your IPhone to reconnect to the Sprint service. You can check your PRL number at Settings>About>Carrier.

The old PRL number was 51082, and the NEW number is 51083.

sorry for the lame question but what is a PRL?

PRL = Preferred Roaming List... it's a database in a CDMA phone that tells the phone what networks to connect to, in which order when you are not able to connect to your "home" network.

You shouldn't need one posted to use on a phone - just use the automated process to have the carrier deliver it to your phone via placing a call as noted above...

There are illicit things that can be done via extracting and modifying PRLs... TiPb highly discourages discussions of such things.

Than this is the only Mobile Nations site that doesn't allow posting prl's. I doubt that is the case.

So there's something preventing you from updating the conventional, OTA way noted above? Why can't you do that?

Thanks HMS! I am almost afraid to hope but my data speeds seem better. I am in Philly and when I called yesterday they said there was a problem in Philly they were working on.

Unfortunately Sprint 3G is still chewing through the battery.:(
