Current Sprint PRLs

Am I the first to report that 51103 is out?

 

You "outed" the new PRL?  Did anyone alert TMZ?

Changes i notice (PRL 55021) are LTE come in, then out, then in, then out on a fresh boot. Takes a good 3 minutes for it to "settle' into a stable connection. Not positive this is PRL related though, could be network issue (Houston area).

Not seeing that here.

Could be a placebo effect, not sure...but with 51103 my iPhone 6 was on B25 and B41 for 90% of my 40 mile drive home (LA Metro). I should probably keep my eyes on the road...

 

Edit: that's about 20% more than usual, stuck in traffic with plenty of time for the phone to scan

A PRL update will not change your LTE coverage or behavior.. all of the networks you have access to have been programmed in there for years. It's just a list of networks to scan. You're seeing a placebo effect.

Thought so, thanks

so if the iphone 5s, iphone 6, LG G2, and LG G3 are all on the same PRL (51103), what does that mean for 1x800 on either phone? do the LG phones now have a low priority on 1x800? or do the iphones now have equal priority on 1x800?

Most Sprint phones share the same prl/number. The iPhone's lack of 1x800 voice is an apple issue. The phone just chooses to ignore it.

Not entirely true anymore. I see 1x800 all the time now, on my iPhone 6+.

Well, then maybe something has changed with the new 6/6+. I don't ever look, because it's too difficult to check while on a phone call.

The iPhones used to have a PRL that put 1x800 as a lower priority than 1900. Now the phones that support 1x800 apparently are using the same PRL as android phones. On this PRL 1x800 is higher on the scan list, but at the same priority (meaning the phone won't go scanning for 1900 if it has a decent 800 connection, or the other way around).

Any proof? lol

I was just about to ask that. The iPhone's (with BC 10 support) have been using PRL's that Android phones have been using for a while now. I believe AJ said they avoided 800 most likely because they operate in a Slotted Sleep State mode, so they would usually stick to 1900 (don't quote me on that though).

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
