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. Click on Android.
Use the command "getprop ril.MSL" and hit enter.
Your MSL will be displayed.

Enjoy!

Dial *2

"Welcome to Sprint, the Now Network. Para Espanol, marque cinco"

"If you're calling about (your phone number) press 1, or enter the number you are calling about"

Press 1

"By the way we received your payment of $xx.xx on (date). You have a zero balance and no payment due right now. What would you like to do?"

"To hear your account balance again, press 1."

"To make a payment 2"

"To hear your minutes, 3"

"Or for help with your phone or account or phone, 4"

Press 4

"To buy or activate a phone, press 1"

"To make changes to your account or phone, 2"

"Questions about your bill, 3"

"Problems with your phone, 4"

"To report a lost phone or stop your service, 5"

"For anything else, 6"

Press 6

"Just a moment while I find someone who can help you. By the way, your call my be monitored or recorded"

Now wait for a customer service representative to come on the line. And if you are calling during normal business hours, get comfortable, it'll be awhile.


I think I'll take Connectbot.

Hey Ajac,
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.
