PRL Updates in select LA markets

Starting this morning, we have released new Preferred Roaming List (PRL) updates that allow customers in select areas to keep their roaming ability. This will mean nothing to 99.99% of you that read the blog, but for those few that do, I know you’ve been waiting on this for a little while now, so here you are.
  • The new PRLs (standard 10055/50555, EVDO 20255/60655 and data card 60755) resolve the loss of mobile broadband roaming as home service in Houma, LA and surrounding markets.

  • These same PRLs will also resolve the following roaming outages expected to take place on the targeted dates indicated.

    • 10/28/09 - loss of roaming voice and 1XRTT - Mohave County (This PRL update does not resolve mobile broadband roaming coverage loss for customers in this area.)

    • 11/13/09 - loss of roaming voice and 1XRTT - Yuma County and La Paz County, AZ

    • 11/18/09 - loss of roaming voice and 1xRTT - Santa Cruz County, AZ(This PRL update does not resolve mobile broadband roaming coverage loss for customers in this area.)



  • Customers living in or traveling in these counties should update their PRL prior to the roaming network date, or they will lose the listed services.

  • Note: Dates listed are planned; however, actual actual dates may vary by about 1 - 3 days before or after.

    1. Mobile broadband is a relatively new phenomenon which allows internet access through a USB modem (that’s a ‘dongle’ to me and you) or USB stick.

    3. Why don't we have 3G in Lake Havasu City? A town this size without this service by a national provider or roaming agreements with Frontier Communications a local provider, is a major loss. 3G stops just north of I-40. Go figure. I haven't been able to get to the bottom of this.
