Removing EPST info before selling my TP

JohnBecker · #1 (**permalink**) 10-25-2009, 08:17 AM

When I got rid of my old 6700, I just went in and unlocked the EPST settings and changed my MDN and MSID numbers to zeros (ten zeros). It worked and wiped out the number information and stopped the VM notifications. When I do the same on the Touch Pro, the settings don't stick.

The reason I want to do this is basic. I've switched over to a Touch Pro 2. The old phone is still getting Voice Mail notifications. If I sell the phone, I don't want my number to go out with it. I may just hang on to the device. I'm not sure yet, but I don't want it to keep telling me I have voice mail.

Does anyone have a clue how to get these settings to stick on the Touch Pro ?

Thanks.

Yes it's easy to do, some searching helped me with a recently sold TPro also. But you will need your MSL.

enter ##786# on the keypad and wait for everything to be displayed. Then the bottom right softkey has menu, iirc, and press it, you are looking for 'reset'. It will ask for a code (they really should specify here it's the MSL they want, alas). Once you enter the MSL it will remove all of your specific info, phone #, voice mail stuff, etc.

good luck,

Thanks. That code didn't work with the Silence ROM I had installed. I went and installed the latest Sprint ROM and the code took. It reset again and it worked beautifully. My information is gone and it doesn't show a voice mail message waiting any longer.

After playing with the TP2 for a couple of days, the ol' TP screen seems SO small!

I need to do this as well, but I do not know my MSL. How can I obtain it without calling sprint?

there's a whole thread somewhere in this forum regarding your question....but i think that deals specifically with the tp2. i found this for you though....

This is what I used to get mine. Worked like a charm.
