Phone PRL (Preferred Roaming List) refers to a database on mobile phones that manages and prioritizes the networks the phone connects to while roaming. The PRL includes a list of preferred networks and their associated parameters, allowing the phone to select the best available network when outside its home network. It helps improve connectivity and ensure that the phone connects to networks with optimal signal quality and service availability while roaming.
What should be the preferred network type on the phone?
The preferred network type on a phone should typically be set to LTE (Long-Term Evolution) for the best data speeds and overall performance. LTE is the most advanced and widely supported network type for high-speed mobile data. If LTE is not available, the phone will automatically switch to other available network types, such as 3G or 2G, to maintain connectivity.
The network settings on a phone are usually found in the settings menu under a section labeled “Network & Internet” or similar. Within this section, you can find options for managing mobile networks, including network mode selection, roaming settings, and APN (Access Point Name) configurations. The exact location of these settings can vary depending on the phone’s operating system and manufacturer.
LTE WCDMA refers to a network configuration that supports both LTE (Long-Term Evolution) and WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) technologies. WCDMA is a 3G network technology used for voice and data services, while LTE is a 4G technology providing faster data speeds. Phones with LTE WCDMA support can connect to both 4G LTE and 3G WCDMA networks, offering broader compatibility and improved network performance.
LTE on the phone screen indicates that the device is connected to a 4G LTE network. LTE is a high-speed mobile data technology that offers faster download and upload speeds compared to older network types like 3G or 2G. When you see “LTE” on your phone screen, it means that your device is using the LTE network for data and, in some cases, voice services, providing enhanced performance and connectivity.
