Curious to find out what everones PRL is an updated PRL also could bring EVDO to your phone. Mine is 15068 and i just did the *228 a few seconds ago to make sure i had the most current one. To find your PRL is

hit #4357* then SEND, scroll down to PRL

Found this off a site. Its usally helpfuly to pick up other towers in the area or even newer towers being built. Also most say you need to update your PRL in order to get EVDO

PRL
(Preferred Roaming List)

The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of a digital phone. It lists the frequency bands the phone can use in various parts of the country. (The smaller bands within Cellular or PCS, technically called blocks.)

The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.

For example, say you had a Sprint PCS phone, and were travelling in an area with no Sprint coverage, weak Verizon coverage, and strong Qwest coverage. The PRL would tell the phone to look for towers using Sprint's band for that area. Finding none, it might tell the phone to search for towers in Verizon's band next, perhaps because Sprint's roaming agreement with Qwest was not as favorable, or none existed. The phone would use Verizon's towers, as dictated by the PRL, even though Qwest might provide a better signal.

Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should.

Rechecked the PRL. I am now at 15070

I *228 about once a week but havent check what my PRL number is in a while.

Just an FYI you only really need to update your PRL once every two to three months.
Obviously it doesn't hurt any if you do it more frequently, though.

I do it a few times a month just for the activation update complete notice "ringtone"  .
