Go to Settings > About, scroll down to Carrier and tap that. It'll show your current PRL

 

Updating the PRL can be done by dialing ##873283# (##UPDATE#) and then hitting call.

 

***edit: heh, this didn't answer the question at hand. My bad.***

Glad to hear the good feedback. Still waiting on my order. Checked this morning and still no tracking number.

Same boat. I've heard that the wait times quoted at Sprint and by Sprint Customer Care are way high balled and we should expect them in the next 5-7 days but I don't know how reputable that information is.

Just listed my iPhone 5S on eBay. Near-mint condition, no scratches, no blemishes, no dents or dings... Carrier unlocked for international use and one year of AppleCare+ remaining.

 

When I was building the listing, eBay said that similar phones were selling for $597.  :o  :tu:  :2tu:

That makes me hopeful to sell mine for a decent price.

I feel this is definitely a solid "no regrets" upgrade over my N5. 3G performance seems a bit stronger, and it grabs LTE a lot more often. 

 

It's nice having SMS text over LTE now, very zippy! I'm so happy with this phone, can't wait to drop it!

How is your battery life compared to your N5?

I am also coming from a N5, and while I haven't had the device long enough to give a definitive answer, it seems better. I charged it fully last night and so far I am at 2:30 of on screen time and 7:00 of standby and I still have 68% left.

 

I always use a new phone at lot more than usual the first couple days, so I definitely think I will easily get over a days use during normal usage.

Great! I can barely get 3 hours total of screen on time with my N5. I'm heading into Best Buy today and I'll hopefully walk out with one. Thanks!

Ive been using mine pretty heavy. A lot of data intensive apps and speed tests and I'm not on wifi right now either...

 

It's doing pretty good lol.

The 6 uses SMS over LTE now?! That's one of the things I loved about my N5 was that.

Went on a Chick Fil A run primarily to see Spark in action, but when I got a b41 connection (full signal), I couldn't use the Internet at all. that was a bit disappointing. :(

 

Also.. is this battery great or what?!

How much space is available for use on the 16GB iPhone? I'm thinking of buying one for my dad, but not sure if its sufficient. He could easily get away with using a 16GB nexus 5 which has about 12.5 available after partitioning for the OS.

where can I find out what the latest PRL for the phone. The coverage map in Naperville shows complete coverage for B41 but all I was receiving was B25 and B26.

 

My phone's PRL is: 51102

You should read up on what a PRL does, for you seem very confused.  :dazed:

1) That is the latest PRL for the iPhone.

2) The PRL has nothing to do with LTE bands.

now I have to admit its been years since I followed PRL's and tower priorities. I am trying to figure out why my iPhone is not locking on to the B41 band when the coverage map has the whole city covered.

I bought a 16GB and my capacity is shown as 11.8GB.

Who's coverage maps? Sprint's? Don't use their coverage maps. They are horribly inaccurate.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Yes! That does keep it from wandering off Dish and most importantly, reconnecting immediately (at least where there is n70). Thanks!

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By Trip · Posted

      I have my Dish phone locked to NR-only.  That keeps it on Dish and only occasionally will it see T-Mobile NR SA for brief periods before going to no service. I also don't have mine band locked beyond that, except that I have some of the unused bands turned off just to try to reduce scan time.  Fortunately, my Dish phone is the one with the MediaTek chipset, so it has NR neighbor cells, and I can usually see n71, n70, n66, and sometimes n29 (market-dependent) through those regardless of which band it's connected to as primary. - Trip

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Excuse my rookie comments here, but after enabling *#73#, it seems that the rainbow sim V2? requires n70 (I turned it off along with n71 - was hoping to track n66) to be available else it switches to T-Mobile.  So this confirms my suspicion that you need to be close to a site to get on Dish.  Have no idea why they don't just use plmn. To test, I put it into a s21 ultra, rebooted twice, came up on T-Mobile (no n70 on s21).  Tried to manually register on 313340, but it did not connect (tried twice). I am on factory unlocked firmware but used a s22 hack to get *#73# working.  Tried what you were suggesting with a T-Mobile sim partially installed, but that was very unstable with Dish ( I think they had figured that one out).  [edit: and now I see Boost sent me a successful device swap notice which says I can now begin to use my new device.  Sigh.  Will try again later and wait for this message - too impatient.]

      Hopefully this indicates T-Mobile hasn't completely abandoned mmwave and/or small cells? But then again this is the loop, so take that as you will. Hopefully now that most macro activity is done (besides rural colo/builds), they will start working on small cells.
