Here is an easy way to get the MSL number for your Epic. Probably works on other devices as well.
Download Connectbot on your device or use ADB.

Open Connectbot. In the small dropdown box on the bottom left that says SSH, click and choose local. Put Android or whatever in the nickname box and hit enter. Click on Android.
Use the command "getprop ril.MSL" and hit enter.
Your MSL will be displayed.
If that doesnt work try just typing getprop.
It will show a long list, scroll down to the section that starts with ril.
You will see ril.msl, the 6 digit MSL number will follow that.
Another option to try:
1. You would like to obtain the MSL for your Sprint PCS wireless telephone. Sprint PCS has made this process easier by implementing their online activation system at
http://activate.sprintpcs.com This website makes it possible for a Sprint PCS customer to change the phone associated with their account without interacting with a customer service representative. All you need to do is login to the site, and enter the ESN of the phone you wish to activate onto your account. The site will give you detailed instructions on how to reprogram your wireless telephone number into the phone you are trying to activate, and in the process will give the end user the programming code. There should be an option during the activation process which asks if the phone is brand new, or has been previously activated. Be sure to select the previously activated option as only then will the activation website give you the master subsidy lock code. If the brand new phone option is selected, then the activation website will only give you the one-time programming (SPC) code.
Enjoy!
