What it does is very little. Nothing to really lose sleep over or even worry.
All a PRL does is add towers from Roaming agreements that just came online. Nothing less, nothing more...if you live and work in the same place it's a safe bet nothing changes for you...however, if you travel all over the country, then it is always good to have the latest Roaming List Update, specially if you are going someplace new you have never roamed before.
Other than that it's not a real big game changer like a Radio update. That's why it's called a Preferred Roaming List.
Rockin got it done
i use Verizon PRL 31337 =/
i get faster speeds and a more constant ping at work with it.
Wonder if we could get an updated Verizon PRL somewhere.

You can use verizon PRL's on sprint phones. Its really only used by people who have great verizon coverage in their area and bad sprint coverage. It causes the phone to connect to verizon's networks preferably over sprint's.

Yea....and eventually youll get that good ol trusty letter from Sprint cancelling your service for going roaming too much.

I'm a sprint rep at an ASC location and I've never had anybody come in and say they got that letter you're talking about, I know it can happen but haven't seen it yet.
And to the OP, a PRL can also remove towers from the list, a bunch of towers were removed from FL in a recent update.

If you're constantly streaming videos and tethering non stop while roaming for MULTIPLE months than yes, they probably would. Outside of doing that, I doubt it. I tethered for a week while I was on vacation and I didn't get a single thing.
Btw, my phone says there's no PRL update
We can update prl the official way right?

Lol I had that prl already I just noticed.

Was just about to post this.
I think it will be good for us if AT&T decides to add their frequencies to T-Mobile's towers. The purchase is expected to take a year and I wonder if it will be blocked by the SEC.
Does that mean AT&T wireless can actually get worse, now that they will (supposedly) gobble up t-mobile?

Well in "the old days" I would have seen the SEC letting this go about as far as I can throw it, but after changing the laws to allow comcast to become the mega-carrier they are, they'll let this one through as well.
Very unfortunate given that T-Mobile at least has drive to create a decent product.
I guess the old saying is true, if you can't beat em, buy em, lol

In my experience, T-Mo had far LESS than AT&T, tho it's been 5 years since I had T-Mo. With T-Mo, they have so many roaming agreements you can drive across the country and have fairly reliable service the entire way. Not the case with Big Red or Big Mama Blue.

I know a few people that are stuck with t-mobile. All I hear them complain about, is dropped calls. T-mobile data speeds aren't bad from what I can tell. I think t-mobile has better 4G coverage. Is this true?

They have about a year head start on HSPA+, but that's about it. No clear direction on LTE tho, so I guess this was written...
Big pink and big blue got hitched! LOL
I'm sure T-mobile customers are jumping for joy after they read this news.
I'm seeing this as being one step closer to getting rid of CDMA.
I wish Cell Phones worked the way they do in Europe. We have too much fragmentation and carrier control in the US.
I have a friend on T-Mobile and he likes the data speeds but the coverage of phone service itself apparently isnt that great all i hear about his how much he complains!!!
Here is some more info from engadget
http://www.engadget.com/photos/atandt-t-mobile-lte-buildout-slides-0/#3984852
Edit: I also read somewhere that it may take a year for this to complete. So no new changes for a while.
NICE!!!!!
I have been to places where there are only tmobile signals! (i did a network search, only tmobile pop up!), but i'm unable to connect cus att wont allow it! i guess this merger will change that!
this means that now after it is complete, we will be able to access t-mobiles hspa+ network with our inspires right? this is great news if we can b/c t-mobiles roll out of hspa+ is far greater than at&t's as of now
Least they will have a larger hspa plus network
Sent from Snarf with an Epic
so this is the trick that att will use to increase their 4g network. LOL i guess when they started rolling out the 4g they ment it would be ready NEXT year! LOL

they use different frequencies so I imagine hardware on t Mobil towers would need changing.

Now that they engulfed tmobile do you think we will get some awesome android devices?
Such as pure google?
Or will google switch to verizon or sprint for pure google devices
So long as rates don't change and XDA is still around, why not?

and we can get the next pure google phone...
I heard that all 3g tmobile phones will need to be replaced(nexus s)
Why would google switch to verizon and spirit? I think it will not mean much different then what we already have with few if any improvements. They most likely will not provide to many more phone options then they already do

They are not killing T-Mo's 3G spectrum so they still will work.
Edit: Google probably would use AT$T because they use GSM so they could sell the same developers phone world wide.

+1..
most companies uses GSM all over the world...and Google makes phones for the worldwide users not just US users....
It might be good thing for us to have pure google phone....which i am sure will be manufactured by motorola...
As long as AT&T doesn't block unlocked devices and I get to keep my discounts, I'm satisfied with my AT&T service.

The thank you was for bringing this unlock method to my attention. I have been paying AT&T 75-80 dollars per month for the last 17 months even though I use the phone barely (may be 30 mins talk and < 50 MB data). I wanted to go prepaid, but wasn't sure about how well other SIMs would work with this phone. Now that its unlocked, I can try all those prepaid MVNOs and T-Mobile connections. Once I find one that works properly for me, I will terminate AT&T contract. I can save at least $300 dollar that way, and will have the satisfaction of not being forced to pay for something I don't need.

T mobile prices and options are fantastic no doubt ... But coverage is not always great ... AT&T overall coverage is far better ...

you can't say that unless you check their coverage map. seem like they're working hard to cover the area. especially since they're terminating the contract plan that other cellular plan does.
However, i would be wary about terminating your plan and check to see how much you'll own when you terminate contract. and yes, it in the fine print. you'll end up paying the remaining amount, and i think they lock your phone out if you don't make that payment. so, even if you DID unlock the phone, none of the service will work after a few minutes.
AND, just a fair warning, but T-Mobile and any prepaid that uses T-Mobile's networks won't give you 3G on SGH-I727 unless you flash the radio.

No...Many T-Mobile cell sites are converted(or in the process) to the new PCS1900MHZ freq (if the area is still not getting their new LTE coverage) making stock skyrocket radio working fine in getting their hspa or LTE if available.... In Lexington KY I'm using their prepaid plan and have LTE using UCMC1 radio... While in Louisville I could connect to their 4G(hspa) on the very same radio...

I can say T-Mobile sucks and I live everyday with it.
I live and travel constantly with my gf who has T-Mobile. She has to use my phone all the time because she never has reception or data. And this is US travel, not overseas.
It's a huge PITA

Where I work, I don't have T-Mobile coverage. I have ordered a AirVoice SIM (AT&T MVNO). As far us I understand their conditions, I have to pay only $10 per month for their pay as you go plan. I am planning to give it it a try. I will check whether 3G works on T-Mobile.
According to AT&T website, if I terminate before contract period end, I have to pay $325 minus $10 for every month used. So, unless there are any hidden charges, I have to pay $155 (its been 17 months on contract).

Ahh, then all you have to worry about is paying the cancellation fee. Don't forget the taxes, as there are 3 different taxes, not including sales taxes. or maybe it included. Not sure.

prepaid plan? it not really prepaid per-say. don't forget that they include taxes after charges.
however, at the most, i don't concern myself about the radio freq. i often enjoy the fact that i'm hard to reach because i'm on t-mob coverage.
and you don't really need that kind of coverage, when you can find some reasons or excuses to visit them than worrying about if you have coverage.

yeah, i know. at the moment, only ceullar plan i can think of that won't take advantage of you would be Criket, AT&T PayGO, and possibly Sprint or Verizon.
Sprint coverage is also terrible. Verizon is pretty decent and the only other provider that's close to on par with att. Unfortunately it's not a better deal price wise.
Att is the only provider that you would want if you travel and want the best coverage. Prices are too expensive though.
I suppose by the time T-Mobile catches up in coverage, so will their prices and it'll be a wash.

He he, we think alike. The only reason I want coverage and data is so that I can use Google Navigation. I suck at driving without a navigator.
Had anyone with ATT service managed to establish a 5G connection yet? If so, I'd like to know how. I've done everything, I can only assume at this point I'm getting a 4g provision due to non-branded device which is bs but unsurprising of them
