      Got a call today from a number I didn't recognize. Declined the call (I almost never pick up for unrecognized numbers.) They didn't leave a voicemail.

      5 minutes later my parents in Michigan texted me telling me that same number had called their landline. The caller did not ask for me by name, but said he was looking for the owner of my (correct) address. My parents said they knew who that was, but wanted to know what this was about. The caller said he must have had the wrong number and hung up.

      Scam?

          Everything is a scam.

                    My work iPhone has been struggling to connect to Sprint all day. Yeah, I know, shut up.

                    So I called up IT and they were helpful enough to have me go through the normal checks and nothing worked. Then we tried updating the phone through the iPhone interface. Despite being on my work wifi it errored out and said I wasn't connected to the internet. Ok. So I downloaded it through iTunes and that errored out. I'm going to have to wait until Monday to get it fixed I'm guessing.

                                It's kinda misleading, because the PRL tells your cell phone what towers it should be using. If (for example) Sprint switched from using Verizon towers to boost signal, and now uses AT&T towers, the PRL on your phone may not show the change. The reason for manually refreshing the PRL is because sometimes over-the-air updates don't push properly to phones.

                                (* Don't reply me to explain the difference between VZW's CDMA network and AT&T's GSM. It was only an example.)

                                PRL was a much bigger deal a decade ago before these large telcos bought up all the smaller ones.


                                Short answer, yes, you shouldn't have to worry about updating the roaming profile since you're using the phone on its home network, but sometimes the home network is also boosted by "roaming" towers.



                                *edit* I had a dumb phone years ago that continued to use my old UP address as it's home network region, causing me to be "roaming" in Chicagoland, de-prioritizing my call over native Chicagoland cell phones (ie: not sending messages, dropping calls, disconnecting my call during rush hours). Same network (Verizon). Never changed plans other than updating billing to my new address. Once I updated the PRL, I never had issues again. Your mileage may vary.
