Verizon PRL Update out - 4/28/11

[FrekeyZeeky]

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

 

[FrekeyZeeky]

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

went from 52297
now have 52341

what is significant about this change?

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).

Thanks, I do travel a lot. So this should help.

Why does mine come up PRL 65210?

You're in a market where they have a hybrid PRL - which may, in some locations in the market, prefer a Verizon roaming partner's network over their own to give you the best possible user experience.

Well at first it didn't. Then they had me do a reset, and I guess did some tweaks and now I seem to have good signal.

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

Has anyone followed up on this and found a work-around? Dialing that exact string produces a "can not be completed as dialed call." I have iOS 5 b7 installed. Is this an iOS 5 beta issue or has something changed?

dial *228 and choose option 2 to update PRL

dial *228 and choose option 2 to update PRL

we are talking about the number to dial for checking the PRL version that is not working.

 

[PhoneAddict]

I have the string to check PRL as: *#5005*4357#

Just tried it and it works.

 

[dmt316]

I'm on beta 7. Just copied and pasted the above number into my dialed and it calls and says number can not be connected.

 

[kch50428]

Maybe it's the beta thing is behind the no-worky.

I just updated to PRL Version = 52522
ERI Version = 6

 

[kch50428]

I just updated to PRL Version = 52522
ERI Version = 6

after getting an update earlier this week, I got another one today - now have 52482... two updates in the same week or so... strange.

 

[ZOFOURTWENTY]

respring your phone, it will update after that.
