Is your Samsung Instinct acting up? {Engadget Mobile}

Aug 27th 2008 3:00PM I had many of the issues you guys were having with my instinct going from full strength to no strength to roaming and in and out of power vision and normal vision as well. This all ended with one simple call to a Sprint representative who said that my phone did not have the needed PRL update. PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. The tech said he would set it up for me and that in 10 minutes I should call *2 and tell the computerized voice promt "PRL Update." It made me stay on the line for a minute while it programmed my phone and viola! I now have consistant strong signal and a great connection to the power vision network. Not sure if this will work for everyone, but it is worth calling and asking. I now actually enjoy using my Instinct for web browsing and data services. It seems to be more responsive since it is not always searching for a signal and the power vision speeds are great. Hope this helps some. Thanks.
