It has to be in your contacts. You can't just dial it.

Yep. Check your new PRL. It should be something like 52642 if I remember right. Give it a couple of days. Your signal should be much improved. If you've flashed the leaked radios you'll get better 3G/4G/Wi-Fi hand off. Some have even reported better signal after that as well.

Not entirely sure how to check PRL, so I will look under "About Phone", but results are so far: inside a 3-story building, on the second floor, in a fairly populated area during rush hour today, I looked at my phone and saw that I had about 2/3 full 4G bar. Looked at signal in About Phone, and it was -74dBm!!! Even better, when my bars were full, it was down to -62dBm!!!!

I am stock, not rooted (although may root soon), and nothing has been updated/changed except for having dialed that number today... Very nice!

PRL is in Settings -> About Phone -> Status

It's about half way down the Status page. Good luck!

I am not even sure what PRL is, but I did have a PRL of 15098. After dialing the number, I now have a PRL 52642.

My reception has always been pretty good, so I dont know if it will amount to anything, but it is now a higher number, LOL.

Took me a solid 48 hours before I started seeing significant differences. I was seeing a much lower DBM within my house and even have been picking up signal strength in the basement. Pretty impressive imo. I didn't have terrible signal issues like some people have had (it was just slacking in my house a little), but now my issues *seem* to be over. It may or may not fix it for you. Here's hoping though. :biggrin:

I just did it got bumped above 5000 for my PRL. Will report back if any major improvements are observed.

I was told by tech support manually adjusting prl is unnecessary for 4g devices furthermore it could damage 4g phones sim cards. Did I get a quack or is there trust to what the rep told me?

The only way you'll fry your SIM is if you *228 a non activated 4G smartphone. It then takes your SIM off the network forcing you to get a new one. Manually updating your PRLs should have no negative effect.

So the tech is also wrong on his assertion that adjusting the prl has no tangible effect

I can't guarantee you anything, but I've told many my success with performing this and all have reported back the same thing. No negative effects.

What's the deal with having to add *22899 as a contact? You can't just dial it?
