Q. Who called me from (866) 542-6911? A. This number is normally an automated call from Sprint asking you to answer a phone survey about your recent support session with them. If you miss the call, they will likely call back again later… or you can call the number yourself to answer the questions… or you can just ignore the calls 🙂 Top Search Terms:866-542-6911 (102)(866) 542-6911 (28)866 542 6911 (22)ptv1000 vs ptv2000 (7)866-5426911 (5)866 542-6911 (4)ptv2000 vs ptv1000 (2)866 5426911 (2)ptv1000

I love the phone, however, I have encountered one problem: difficulty in getting the 6 digit MSL number I knew that calling Sprint and asking for the MSL was an option, but I generally despise calling corporations and I knew there were some well known other methods that are done exclusively on the phone itself. So I tried the following methods: #1 root & then getprop
