Current PRL Version for EVDO Access |
| Monday, 09 May 2005 | |||
Your PC 5220, Novatel v620, AirCard 580, or Kyocera KPC 650 has a Preferred Roaming List (or PRL) embedded in the card. This list tells your card which towers to look for when establishing connection. As new EVDO towers are installed, your PRL will become out of date because it won't know to hunt for these new towers. You may be in an EVDO area, but if your card doesn't have the tower in the list, it won't know to attempt to connect to the new tower. It is a good idea to update your PRL monthly, as Verizon and Sprint are constantly putting up new towers that may be closer to YOU and therefore offer better signal strength!
Last checked February 26, 2006 Need help determining which version PRL you have? Follow these steps:  Windows -> Mobile Connection Manager -> Settings -> About
 To update the PRL, select Run Activation Wizard from the General tab. If you are running VZAccess: Help -> About VZAccess ->PRL Version is displayed  To update the PRL, select Activation from the Option Menu.  Macintosh (PC5220) -> Menu Bar -> About Verizon Card
If you are using the Kyocera KPC650, you can select Activation from the Options menu to update your PRL and look in the About box for the PRL version that you are using.  To update the PRL, hold down the Option Key and select the signal bars from the menu and select Activate Card. You can also update the PRL on Verizon or Sprint by dialing a *22899 from your phone or PC Card. We have a thread you can subscribe to at EVDO Forums so that you'll receive all the latest PRL news. |
