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).

    • 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 soecific 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.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
