Retrieve MSL Code?

Could someone help me get the MSL code for a phone of mine? I'm selling it on ebay and would like to do a master reset first.

Thanks!!

call spcs activations and have them transfer you to tier 2 tech support. then in a very authoritative voice say something like "Hi, I'm (name) and i work for a private reseller, i have a very irate customer here who is trying to activate her phone, i need the MSL code so i can manually program it, my computer is offline right now. (then put the phone away from your face and say to an imaginary cusomer 'sorry its taking so long, ma'am, it will just be a few more minutes"

if you do it right (you need to sound like an agent who has a pissed off customer) they will give you the code no problem.. its how i got mine

oh yea- have the esn ready

What phone? Do you have a Data Cable?

OK, I see the avatar, 8200? Still if you have a Data Cable you can get it using BitPim.
