Help using a different PRL

Just wondering if anyone has found a pretty good PRL to use with the triumph.. i know that each one varies based on location. I just wanna know what everyone else uses. Ive tried about 5 or 6 of them and cant seem to find the right one..


you deff. need to state your location lol, and from what ive gathered from the other topics on here about this is, adjusting the prl doesnt automatically give you a better signal, it just increase your chances of picking up more towers, newer towers, older supposed offline but really not towers, and tower that were supposed to be multi-carrier tower that ended up not



im also interested if anyone in the Philadelphia area has found of any useful ones


and ill also off topic send a congrats to you agent, everytime i am typing my reply to a post to offer assistance to someone, when i click submit post i always see you replied right before me lol

I'm in Oklahoma City. I'm still on stock, but I'm guessing the latest sprint PRL would probably be the best. Is this true?

Also, what exactly does a different PRL do? It won't all you to roam will it? Will it cause you to get the higher priority of Sprint users and not the lower priority of VM users? (This may not actually exist, but I thought I had heard of it).

It won't let you roam, but it MIGHT let you connect to new towers. I don't think that there is a priority system in the way that you are saying, but I don't know for sure.

I'm on the stock 61007. I've tried all the other PRLs out there and this was the best... why? Because here in White Plains (10601), it is not the towers (I'm 200' from a tower). It is the capacity.

Peak hours I'm getting 30kbps down and 300kbps up, better to use dial-up LOL. :(

But at night, anywhere from 300kbps up/down to 800kbps.


So in short, mobile data is useless for me during the day, but usable at night.
