How to find your MSL Code using CDMA Workshop

Having your MSL code is useful for changing a multitude of advanced settings. Some Sprint users say all they had to do was call up Sprint technical support and they gave them their MSL code. Others have reported Sprint reps refusing to give it out. But don't worry that's not the only way you can get the MSL code. You can use CDMA Workshop software to do it as well.
