How to remove / rest the MSISDN #
Hi,
My phone is a Tour 9630 Unlocked was originally on Sprint. When I am on the "Dial" screen..(Press the green handset) At the top, it lists "My Number" as the original US Sprint tel #. Further, if I run a Diagnostics (Manage Connections>Mobil network options>Diagnostics, the generated report contains the line MSISDN : 770 xxx xxxx (The original phone #) And Yes, I have "Edited my SIM .. and other methods to try and re set this #. and now I st the phone options to not display my number, so it hides it, and the my number field is blank,,,... but it is Still there. unchanged. I read in one forum, i would need the unlock code form Sprint to remove this.. I have all unlock codes MEP 1 thru MEP 4 and all security levels are Disabled. Sprint has No idea what I am even talking about when I speak (or e-mail them) [What a laugh I get at some of their e-mail replies.. it is just too funny] I have been told, never mind, doesn't hurt anything bla bla bla ... However, This particular model Blackberry is having difficulties and is "quirky" on the Thai Service provider networks. The fact that this Tel # seems 'Hard coded into the phone, has me curious if removing re-setting it would assist in eliminating other issues. So that is the Why behind wanting it put right. Does anyone have a solution or Idea? Thanks GB |

You need to modify it in the CDMA programming area. However, you will need the 6-digit MSL for the device in order to access that menu, which Sprint won't give you. Unlike Verizon, the other main CDMA provider in the USA, Sprint changes their MSL to something other than 000000 during initial device programming.

Ok, so perhaps.. Maybe.. I can ask sprint for this code, now that I know (Thanks to your (y)) What I am Asking for. Or the other plausibility is to see if there is a code generator out there for this code also. Thank you this was acurate and clear for me ! Could I impose to ask if you know the procedure to follow should I obtain this MSL code? or could you point me to a link? Very Grateful gb |

Thanks again.
Rather "petty" of them .. but I guess they have reasons.. I will keep looking , there may be something out there.. and again, in time, the system in Thailand may work it self out.. or in time I will up grade to a BB 10 ! ;-) gb |
Re: How to remove / rest the MSISDN #
The only suggestion I have for you to try is the last 6 digits of the shown next to "My Number".

Re: How to remove / rest the MSISDN #
Further to the above,
I spoke with Sprint,.. and after some run around with persons who did not know and tried to fake it, I did manage to get a knowledgeable person on the line who explained to me.. thay as the phone was not activated on a Sprint network, they could not even reach the phone directly for their system to generate the MSL code for this unit/device. Perhaps he is selling me a bit of goods, but I guess it is plausible that as supposedly they cannot communicate with the phone, they cannot generate the MSL code.. Or he could be snowing me.. but it makes some sense.. I think. Sooo off to find a solution elsewhere if one exists |

Re: How to remove / rest the MSISDN #
Well I got Hosed by this guy.. Why would they play these games..
My reasons for the code are legit.. I am in Thailand and the phone (until I was gifted it by my relative) was inactive , he traded to an Ipnoe over 2 years ago. + it was purchased as "Un-locked".. No sense venting at you..sorry. As much as I loath Govt, This seems like a Violation of FTC. Well Thanks, I will try again and maybe get a different rep.. more sympathetic Thanks GB |

If so, I will continue to battle them; if they cannot provide it technically, I will let it go as far as Sprint is concerned... or maybe not as this is just Wrong! |
Re: How to remove / rest the MSISDN #
Sprint has no obligation to give you the code.
Go online and purchase the SPC or MSL code from a vendor. |

On the link to the vendor for unlock code, I will first research him and then most likely invest the 15 $ I followed another different thread on Crackberry and discovered how to obtain the MEID codes Free,.. my phone was already unlocked, but the method posted on Crackberry Did provide the 5 MEID codes. This I believe is for the GSM side of the phone.. The MSL code we are talking about here is for the CDMA side of this model BB... Thanks all Garvin |

I followed this advice and received the SPC code /MSL Code I ( believe these are the same?) At the Dial screen, pressed ##xxxxxx[SEND] and the CDMA Service Edit Screen was revealed . I edited the first # (Mobile directory # and the next # the IMSI_S: to my correct mobile Tel #.Further under the seciton A-Key: I edited out the incorrect e-mail address listed to my correct e-mail address. Pressed the MENU key and Saved, the phone re-booted and all was as it should be.. with the # corrected. I noticed some other things in this screen such as Mobil Country Code : 310 Mobile Network Code: 00 Home SID: 4139 Home NID: 6553 And Blackberry Registration ID: 4139 Where could I find an explanation or this screen and how to use it? / what these settings do? Google has not produced usefull information as of yet.. I ask this out of More than just curiosity ; I live in Thailand and the phone was from the USA, Sprint. Thailand has some "Quirkey" things happening with their networks just now involving CDMA and GSM changes they are making / rolling out. SO I wondered if these settings need editing? ex: the 'Mobil Country Code' ? And, another question.... Just because I have my SPC code and have used it, Is the CDMA side of this BB 9630 now "Unlocked" OR is does their remain a setting I must adjust?..... As in the GSM side, to unlock it, I must once having entered the "Codes" set sercurity levels to OFF or Disabled. Thanks GB |
Re: How to remove / rest the MSISDN #
You can't "unlock" the CDMA side. It's up to the CDMA service provider to determine whether or not they will allow a device from a different carrier to be activated on their network. The MSL/SPC code doesn't have anything to do with it.
For the GSM side, the place where you determine whether or not it is unlocked is not on the Security page. You would need to go to the SIM Card page, type in mepd and see what it reads next to "Network". If it reads "Disabled" or "Inactive", then it is unlocked. |

And remove any reference to Sprint from my Device? ( As I edited my correct phone # to replace the original US #.) And there is nothing "Blocking my current service provider (AIS Thailand) from sending Their CDMA codes / set ups to my phone .. ie Mobil Country code, ..Home SID : xxxx etc. Ok Thanks.

Appreciate the help. GB |
