Canada PRL Interpretations

On CDMA handsets, roaming is controlled via a configuration file called the PRL. This page provides independent interpretations of PRLs issued by select CDMA carriers in Canada. The information can be useful in deciding whether to update your PRL, and in determining where roaming coverage might be available during your travels.

On to the PRLs!

IMPORTANT  Please note the following information:

• Independent PRL Interpretations are not official documents of any cellular carrier.
• Independent PRL Interpretations have been compiled from publicly available data sources. The source data is believed to be correct, but may contain errors.
• Independent PRL Interpretations are intended for private, personal use only. They are not for use in sales.
• Independent PRL Interpretations are provided as a free public service. You may freely distribute copies of these files, but they are not to be sold.
• Independent PRL Interpretations for your carrier can help to provide a rough sketch of available coverage, but are not a comprehensive listing of your carrier's roaming agreements. Roaming agreements can be (and usually are) active on systems not listed in the PRL. Additionally, the presence of a network in the PRL doesn't necessarily mean that your service plan allows you to roam on it (although asking your carrier for an "authentication override" in problem areas can sometimes help).
