Current Sprint PRLs

This also happened to me for both my iPhone 5s & my sister's iPhone 5. Neither of them even scan for LTE anymore.

Yep, 606xx just sounds like an old legacy non LTE PRL to me. Maybe I should let Sprintcare know on Twitter? They will fix it!

 

Let's try this again but without the oops.

I'm also on that PRL on my iPhone 5 and I'm not getting LTE anymore either. Must be like digiblur said and it's just a legacy non-LTE PRL.

Please do! My EVO Shift was on 60651 until I activated it on Ting about 2 weeks ago, so 60657 is definitely a non LTE PRL.

I will quote myself again... I would have a better chance at tweeting Obama to get the space shuttle flying again than I would with Sprintcare fixing an issue.

 

Their hands are tied to looking up NV forecasts and telling you how to do a PRL update to get better coverage.

 

Email Dan@sprint, works much better.

Now you guys got me thinking... LTE started working at work this afternoon. I was getting 2 megabit downloads instead of 1x speeds. Bet this had something to do with it.

 

You should start peddling non-LTE PRLs to all of your friends and neighbors down there, soon enough you'll have the entire network to yourself! ;)

Anyway the prl was updated or someone just push the wrong one?

I think digi is hinting at the iPhone causing issues with Sprint's LTE network, so they're pushing out a non-LTE PRL? If it's from 4 years ago that means it's also pre SMR; maybe that has something to do with it?

There has to be some sort of jackass reasoning to pushing a non-LTE prl to phones on their network, rendering thousands of devices "blocked" from accessing LTE. A balsy testing process for something? Or, the worst mistake they've ever made.

I've sent up a flare.... let's see what happens.  Will keep you posted!

 Here is what I posted in one of the threads in the Apple/iPhone/iOS section:

I have tried to update today also, because it seems that 60657 also doesn't allow roaming, considering I'm at school where I always get 5 bars of Extended 1x/3G on my iPhone 5 but right now I am currently getting "No Service" and "Searching" constantly :td::wall:

Kind of frustrated that I can only receive iMessages and can't receive any texts do to having no roaming capability for what I assume is this prl's fault. Hopefully Sprint will get this fixed.

I look at it this way, there's finally a benefit to living in Cleveland - since we hardly have LTE or 800 anywhere in our market (near me anyway) I'm not missing out on anything sitting here on 60657. Hey, I just like the drama....there haven't been any major updates in my area so at least I have something to get excited about now!

I've logged an official ticket with Sprint. The customer service rep couldn't get her head around why Sprint would offer a 4 year old PRL for an update.

 

I suggest everybody do the same.

Will do once I get home from school :tu:

My Nexus 5 was updated to 60657 when I was connected to a tower around Shawnee Mission PKWY and Metcalf in Kansas City. I was still connected to LTE. When I got home and read about LTE issues on this PRL, I updated again and it went to 55017. That would be when I was connected to a tower on 60th and Roe. Maybe this helps.

If you guys still have 60657 after hitting PRL update on your devices please call into sprint or send an email to dan@sprint.com explaining you received a 60657 PRL update version automatically on your device and now your LTE does not work anymore.  Be sure to include your name and Sprint phone number when sending that email so they can contact you.

    • 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.
