Current Sprint PRLs

Recommended Posts

After reading some threads here in regards to PRL versions and the differences between each version on different devices, I took the time to find the listing of all current Sprint PRLs.
 
This includes the official changes made with each new PRL revision as well.
 

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eNgQKxdPHgua60suUeQ4E7KvtUAFPDVkpqTL2sBorNg/pubhtml
 
While the information this comes from is on an internal Sprint page, the information itself is not proprietary as it can all be obtained through an analysis of the PRLs loaded on every Sprint device in the wild, something members of this community have already been doing.
 
My hope is that by making this information easier to find, it will lead to more discussion and overall a better community.

Info on the 2xxx NoteII PRL:

 

Preferred Roaming List Release: Samsung Note II

On 6/13/13, Sprint released a new Preferred Roaming List (PRL) series 2xxx, for Samsung Note II (SPH-L900) devices only.

  • The PRLs are designed to remove access to Sprint's 800 MHz network based on reported issues of the inability to make/receive voice calls and text messages while using this network.
  • The new PRL's have been sent out to all the Samsung Note II devices.
  • This is a temporary solution until a root cause and fix is found for this device.
  • The PRL will continue to allow access to Sprint's 1900 CDMA and roaming partner networks.
  • Customers experiencing problems should be directed to update the PRL via device settings.

Thanks for doing this as this has been one of the things on my list. The one stop shop for PRL info instead of new threads anytime there is an update. This will be a sticky.

 

I had a feeling it was something you had planned, but I had access to all of them at once, officially. Much faster than figuring it out on your own with every phone, and much easier than trying to figure out each corporate PRL.

So, still no word on why the note 2's on PRL 2000? I've noticed some 4g auth issues with 65009, but it work fine on 2000, so I wonder if 800 ESMR and 4G 1900 aren't playing nice.

 

Also, heh. 16015 is MBB, yet our Store's GS3 is on it.

Weird.. Since I had no issues using it in Dallas. I bet we will see a baseband update soon though.

 

Not sure why you would see LTE Auth issues as all the prl has in it is basically an on/off switch for that Geo to scan for LTE or not.

I'm wondering if I was experiencing whatever issue that ran into. I made this post around June 6th. I have screenshots further down the thread.

I'm speculating, but I've noticed that the moment I switch from 2000 back to 65009, my 4G LTE refuses to connect.

Thanks, cool spreadsheet!

 

I see the 51xxx series PRLs are intended for any device not utilizing simultaneous LTE and voice. Is the iPhone the only hardware on the network that falls in to this category?

As far as I know, yes.

The Note II has its own set of PRLs. The Corporate one with 3G roaming is 2001The HTC One is a svLTE AWM device, so it would be 540xx for the corporate 3G PRL.

 

The latest PRL series xxx15 and xxx97 have nationwide 800smr for all SIDs that will be used.

I have the PRL 2000 and where i work, in a metal building of all :/, i get no signal on Sprint, none at all and it will not roam it will keep trying to get Sprint signal, killing my battery. I go into work usually with 80% left and after working for 5 to 6 hours ill have 20% left. Will a new, when they push it, PRL help? or just to do with them working on towers in my area.

Are you using stock TW or CM10.1?  There is a bug on CM10.1 with the RIL changes in the last month where you can install CM and LTE/eHRPD works until the first reboot, then it appears the network registration dies and you are stuck on shady EVDO/1X.

Well, I guess since this has been straight up copied and pasted from the Sprint Daily News...

That's got to be what it is. I've been on TW for a bit, but was switching back and forth for a while. I'll have to do some more testing to figure out exactly what's going on. Sadly, neither my home nor work are currently in 4G LTE areas, it's only when out and about that I'm constantly distracted by my phone and trying to make it work...

What does the June 4th and April 12th dates mean on the spreadsheet?  How do I use the spreadsheet to know what I should be using?  I have an iPhone 5 and my PRL is 51097.

The dates represent the date each PRL was released.

 

Performing a PRL update will automatically send the most current PRL for your phone and account type. On the iPhone you perform updates by dialing ##UPDATE# and hitting the call button.

 

The info in this thread is exactly that, information.Sprint must pay for all roaming usage so it segregates corporate accounts with better roaming experience in some areas due to roaming agreements with whatever carrier is there. Consumer accounts may be limited to 1x roaming where corporate accounts may have EVDO roaming.

Anyone on the iPhone5 51097 update? Anyone know what the change from 96 is. I'm still on 51096 just wondering what changed before I update

Official change logs are on the second tab of the Google doc.

 

 

xxx97 - Updated to add Band Class 10 support nationwide for all planned markets. Roaming changes in eastern Colorado and western Kansas.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
