*228 feature is for VZW customers only, that feature maybe different for your service provider.

Thnx, •Tripster•

Is this going to happen each time I reboot? I wonder how this affects me????

It happens in the 5.0.0.140 OS as well on my 9530.
Confirmed it this morning.:irked:

HMm interesting.. Morning Me...wondering if this is a bug of the 5.0 os or a feature of the BIS system for 5.0...maybe automatic PRL updates through push?

It happens on BBCM 8.5 as well....I don't think it has anything to do with the OS. Mine remained unchanged; 51540 to 51540.
Anyone wanting to know the latest update for Alltel, Sprint, US Cellular and VZW.can try The Roaming Zone PRL Page at:

The Roaming Zone-PRL Page

It will give you the latest PRL numbers/date change logs, etc. Please note that for VZW, all the PRLs discussed in this thread are correct. You may have one of several numbers recently issued on September 3.
Verizon issues several PRL's with each revision, and the one you receive depends on your plan, phone model and location. The order of roaming partners among all PRL's issued on the same date is virtually identical.

Sept. 3, 2009 (includes 51540 - 51567)
51567 Nationwide/AC II EV-DO
=---different prl's are released for different devices, service plans and other criteria.

no we mean the prl resetting to 0 the new prl for vzw all is 51540 unless you have an older phone... but there are a few people saying after a batt pull the prl resets to 0

Sorry missed that "0" thing but I also note that they got it back to 51540. Could be a delay after the reboot.

lol your are reading what we are saying wrong.. forget the 51540...when these people perform a batter pull their PRL will read 0, when they dial *228 option 2 it then changes to the current PRL, but then do another battery pull and its back to 0 so what we were saying is if it resets to 0 everytime you do a battery pull is the new BIS software going to keep your device up to date on the prl instead of having to dial *228, and yes it is os related as I am on one os and my PRL does not reset to 0 everytime I do a battery pull... do you get what we are saying? has nothing to do with 51540 or any other actual PRL..

Yeah---we're crossing posts....I edited mine while you wwere responding. LOL

Thanks toytooii.
That is some good info.

lmao... ok yea i just am wondering if it is going to be part of the new BIS and 5.0 os that its going to reset and re push it everytime you power cycle the phone would be nice

Guess we need to put *228 on speed dial and use it daily or go back 2 days ago when I didn't know about this and the phone worked fine

Yeah... an automatic (within the OS *228/2) would be nice. Not to go off topic, but I'd be a lot happier if they'd get out a stable, fully functioning 5.0 os for the storm. I can deal with updating my PRLs occasionally.

Yes we are. We are surrounded by Alltel towers and even though I'm a new VZW customer we have to have the push or no signal.

The lastfor Alltel I could find was August 11, 2009. 65036 - 65048 "Hybrid" PRL that prefers Alltel sites.
But there may be ongoing pushes.

Yeah, I did mine yesterday, I didn't check it after I did it but I rebooted last night and now it says "0" so oh well.

From the talk we have heard if they are an area that is being converted they should be vzw towers by then end of next month

I just got Verizon to push me A "Hyrbrid PRL" which allows me to access Alltel towers over Verizon's! So far so good! Can maintain a phone call in my apt!!
PRL: 65048 was at 51540

I too notice my PRL resets to 0 after I do a battery pull. Running OS 5.0.0.230 on a 9530.
