Prl Id?

The PRL file is basically a list of towers that are ok for your phone to use. i'm not sure how often cricket updates this list, but sprint and verizon usually update this 3-4 times a year. updates will contain any new towers that have been added and remove and towers that are no longer working. you only need to update this if you are having a problem with reception in an area you think you should have reception. dialing *228 will download the latest PRL from cricket, among other things.
 
Cool thanks for the information. I have Jump Mobile and have just started using the service maybe a month ago. You think I might need to download that update or was it done when I signed up for service? The phone I am using is a free one I got from a Cricket subscriber who bought a new one.
 
Somewhat correct, except PRLs don't say anything about towers. They specify which system your hanRABet will prefer in which order. In the case of Cricket it is a simple allow or do not allow as off-system roaming is not supported. In any case, it's not related to towers.
