How to obtain your Sprint phone's MSL

I see a lot of forum posts about this and I don’t know if the lawsuit mentioned in my previous post made this any easier but here’s how I got my MSL in less than 30 seconds from Sprint:

Call customer service
Tell them that you’re in the Sprint ADP (Application Developer Program) and that you’d like to get the MSL (Master Subsidy Lock) code to enable your developer certificate
Copy down the 6 digit code they give you and you’re off

I was dumbfounded that they didn’t ask a single question. The woman just started rattling off the numbers and we parted ways. It was the easiest support call I’ve ever had to make. Good luck getting yours! If you run into any resistance you may want to register yourself for the ADP (in case they can check) at the Sprint Developer website. Then call back and try again.
