The PRL controls which towers and providers your phone uses as primary service. You do not get charged for roaming; however, the Sprint agreement says that your service can be terminated if you roam more than half the time in any month, so leaving an Alltel (or any other non-Sprint) PRL on a Sprint phone will probably not end in a good result. Unless, of course, you are looking for a way out of your contract...
usally u get charged for roaming and i havent heard of getting kicked off a just for roaming that kinda stupid but i didnt change around and it messed up my EVDO now i cant connect to it and help?
or any adivce

Call Sprint at *2, tell them you need a PRL update, and they will set it up for one to download to your phone.
And if you "havent heard of getting kicked off a just for roaming" then read the Sprint contract.
Roaming-Included Plans: ... Sprint may terminate service if (1) more than 800 minutes, (2) a majority of minutes or (3) a majority of data kilobytes in a given month are used while roaming...

60711 gave some people problems. dont let the number fool ya.
What does this do anyways? Sorry a newbie
just a little QPQ 60711 is MAINLY meant for Data cards.... dont ask me why or if im 100% sure but every data card where i work and at home (parents have them too )
they have 60711 while the phones have 60612!
Great imagination

The PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. if they start with 606 that indicates 1xEVDO the EVDO phones and cards both can use the same PRLs because it's just a generic list of SIDs, and bands in order of carrier Preference The Aircards tend to be behind because when PRL Updates are added it's added to the new versions of software, and more often PRL changes are for voice roaming. So all in all 60711 is a different class of PRL and you'd be better off updating your PRL with your Carrier, and usually will only help you whilst outside of their normal coverae area...seeing as most us cdma carriers use a nationwide sid for themselves at this point in time.

Same here. With 60711 my phone would constantly get stuck in 1xRTT. With 60611 (and now 12) it hasn't happened at all.
So I just noticed that my phone is roaming. and I have a spare phone from sprint and is roaming also, maybe sprint is doing some maintenance? any way to check for this?
Thanks
Just call sprint and they will tell you if your roaming. It happened to me one time and i didnt want to get charged so i called them and they said that i was not roaming.

You can also try updating your PRL. That's happened to me where my PRL was updated to an old version and my phone roamed all the time. Hope that helps.

Guys it was something temporary. is good now
Just wanted to say that after switching to an Alltel PRL, I've incurred about 500MB of data roaming. No charges for it or anything, but I'm switching back to a Sprint one.
Your results may vary.

thats what people have said and what has stopped me because im using everything data and need those
I have beem using altell prl and haven't seen that and as far as the any mobile anytime mintes why would thaf change cause u still get any mobile anytime when ur roaming so how would that affect it? I am always roaming at my house till I switched prl and now i'm always on sprint network and my bill hasn't changed I just get alot better service and fewer dropped calls

Sprint is known for getting pissy about Roaming and Data. Friendly warning. WHile it is still "Free" they can still tell you to take your account else where.

Aww man, don't get me started here LOL.
I had US Cellular at used too much data (Strictly on the phone, no tether)on one of their unlimited BB plans - They dropped me like an ugly baby and said I had breeched my contract and owed them 300 bucks. Attorney said I was SOL because they have some legal crap in their contract that states that if they deem you as a risk to their network they could cancel your account with you being held responsible...
BS! /endrant

I have a feeling that if they discover that you used an Alltel PRL to engage in illegal roaming that your contract will be terminated with a VERY large bill.

Well technically you would be a risk to Verizon's network, not Sprint's. since you wouldnt be using their network.

Pretty sure Sprint pays Verizon X amount for roaming.
I'm having trouble with my service recently. It seems there's absolutely no Sprint service around my house now, which is strange since i used to be able to even get 4g. As soon as i leave my neighborhood complex and go to the shopping plaza nearby I get everything working on my phone again. I called up sprint and they told me everything is working fine in my area and that I have one of the areas with best coverage in Miami. So, I'm here asking you guys for help on finding out what the problem could be. I can't stay in my house because i get no texts/voice/internet on my phone so I have to be constantly leaving just so i don't miss a phone call from work or from a friend.
LOL, what makes you think that the people here can fix Sprint's coverage and or service?
Sprint is currently upgrading their network nationwide... a lot of areas are experiencing problems

Yep, unfortunately, this IS a problem with sprint's service, which means only they can fix it. If they told you nothing is wrong, they lied to you. You need to call back, and keep asking for supervisors until you get a truthful answer.
Or you can call to ***** at them and make sprint send you an airave which will give you 3G and much better signal in your home.

Yeah, I did 2 PRL updates when i actually had service. I think that might be it, one of the updates was automatic which was weird because I've never seen it do a PRL update on its own.
ok so here it is pretty soon im going to be going across the border maybee like 50 miles out and then again about 1000 miles further the last time i went outthere i rarely got roaming only in very lil areas so one of my family members has att and he was the one who got service the entire time .....so back to my question where can i find a att prl that will work on our phone or the heroc i just need the prl and i will put on my phone as i njust want to be prepared for this trip.....right not im using a special sprint prl 11114 which allows 3gverizons roaming....that plus roam control and your set.

First, the border to where? Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Alabama, native Sprint coverage?
Second, the only AT&T towers your phone could possibly use are up north near Montana. They are formerly owned by alltel, 11114 should enable EV-DO access to these towers. All other towers are GSM and will not work with CDMA phones. The only reason the old Alltel towers (which are now being used by AT&T) will allow your phone to use them is because they are Dual-Mode GSM/CDMA hybrid towers.
In most (99.999%) cases AT&T towers can't be used by any Sprint phone.
EDIT: except maybe blackberry bold, HTC touch pro 2 and the Motorola Photon because they are GSM and CDMA phones (hybrid).
i will be goimg to mexico ok now so the 11114 prl is that all straight roaming or am i ok should i switch back... my cousin was on att but it was on roaming the entire time, if it cant be done then what is recomended for me to try to get service outthere i just dont want to be stuck buyn another prepaid phone outthere thats all..
11114 and 60680 will give the same international roaming.

01120 was discontinued. It was replaced with 11114 which pretty much has nationwide 3g roaming.

11114...it will even roam on networks not listed in the prl unlike 60680. Or activate a world phone such as the photon so you have the best of both worlds..cdma roaming and gsm.
Another thing to keep in mind is the Epic will not roam on the PCS band...they still haven't fixed that issue. So if there is cdma only in the pcs band you will not get any service.
Is there a link for that prl?
