Obtaining your MSL code without calling Sprint - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Morning Everyone,
Just inquiring to see if there is a way of how to obtain your MSL code for Sprint without calling customer service.
Does my Note 5 phone have to be rooted or not or is there an application within the google play store or a 3rd party apk that i can download to obtain this code.
I believe you have to go into the settings after pressing ##3282 and then edit but it is asking for a code.
And if by chance i do have to call customer service what would be a valid reason for trying to get this from them.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jason

PF Voicemail Help! Unknown phone number!!

I downloaded Phone Fusion Visual Voicemail app to my G1. Its an interactive application that displays a list of your voicemail messages which you can also organize via touchscreen, rather than having to call your voicemail number and listening to the automated operator and press buttons. As part of the registration process you must enter in your cell number (Its either your cell number or your voicemail number, I cant get it to work so I dont know for sure.)
Whenever I type in my number a notification pops up that says, "! Registration Failed. Unable to determine this devices phone number."
Now I went to my Settings/ About Phone/ Status/ My phone number...all that was listed under "my phone number" was "unknown". As of right now I dont see an option to edit this status. If anyone has any suggestions or a way to fix this dilemma so I can continue to have fun with my beloved G1 it would be greatly appreciated. Please Help!
The only real information ive heard was: "if your on "flexpay" forwarding is disabled therefore you cant use any of the visual voicemail apps on the market besides the app by t-mobile"
use the official tmo visual voicemail app. its better and it actually works. u just need to have the android data plan and ur good

Editing Number Before Calling

I live overseas but call back to the us quite often for friends, family, or work. My mobile provider provides an economical way of calling back to the us and to many other countries by replacing +1 (or whatever the country code) with an access code (ie 13200 and country code). However I still need to store all my numbers regularly with + and country code for text messaging and syncing to other devices.
Am I missing something or is there no way to easily edit a number from contacts before dialing? I can edit numbers from the call log with a long press. But this doesn't seem possible from contacts. The only way I can seem to do it is dial with the original number, immediately hang up, then edit the number. My old Nokia did the number edits easily through contacts. Any suggestions? Am I just missing something? Any assistance would be appreciated. Using froyo. Thanks.

Didn't get any responses, so bumping back up. Anyone else have some suggested approaches that I might be missing? Thanks.

[How To] Forward Google Voice to Canada without 3rd party apps and for free!

Disclaimer: This may not be the right section for this thread but I didn't know where else to put it. And since I verified this setup on a Nexus 5, I figured this is the best bet.
I stayed in the US for a few years and have an active Google Voice number that my friends in the US call to contact me. Thus, I needed a free method to forward those calls to Canada.
Yes, There are a few of 3rd party apps like GrooveIP that not only let you receive calls but also make calls over data. However, I don't like 3rd party app notifications in my status bar constantly and needed a free solution that would work.
My solution however, only uses the default phone dialer app to receive forwarded calls over SIP.
Step 1
Get yourself a Google Voice number. There are many guides on the internet on how to achieve this via the use of proxies/vpn services.
Step 2
Create a free Sip2Sip account here: https://mdns.sipthor.net/register_sip_account.phtml
Once you receive the confirmation email, Login and go to the ‘Settings’ panel.
Uncheck Reject Anonymous, change the no answer timeout to 60 seconds and uncheck Voicemail Enable. Then click Save at the bottom.
Then click on the ‘Identity’ panel and leave that page open.
Step 3
Open a new browser tab and signup for an IPKall account here: http://phone.ipkall.com/
All the information to be filled out will be available on the ‘Identity’ panel on sip2sip.
Where it says SIP URI Username, enter your username from the account you created on Sip2Sip.
Enter sip2sip.info in the Domain field.
Choose any password and complete the signup.
Wait for IPKall to email you your new number and account info.
Step 4
Go to Google Voice Settings and click to Add a new number.
Choose a name for this number, I named it ‘Ipkall’ to make it easier to recognize. And type in the phone number that Ipkall emailed you. then click save.
More than likely, the IPKall number assigned to you may have already been used earlier by another Google Voice user. It’ll ask you to reclaim that number by verifying it. That’s okay, we’ll get to that in a bit.
Step 5
On your android device, open the Phone dialer and go to settings. Then open ‘Call Settings’.
Scroll all the way down to Internet Call Settings and click on Accounts. Make sure that there is a check mark next to Receive incoming calls. Then click on Add account on the bottom.
Enter your sip2sip username and password in the respective fields. In the server field, enter sip2sip.info. Then uncheck set as primary account and click on Optional Settings. Under outbound proxy address, enter proxy.sipthor.net
Then click save and wait for it to register. Once done it should say Receiving Call under “[email protected]”.
That’s it, go back to Google Voice settings and reclaim the IPkall number assigned to you. If you didn’t have this issue then you are already set to go.
Place a few test calls to your Google Voice Number and check to see if they’re being forwarded to your Phone over SIP.
BONUS: You can also use this setup to get Google Voice to connect you to US phone numbers for free. Visit the Google Voice website, enter the phone number you'd like to call and choose your ipkall number as the phone to connect with. OR you could get a Google Voice call back app to do this on your phone.
So doing this I can call and receive calls anywhere free of charge and not using any data?

As long as you are on wifi, there's no charge and no use of your data.
When you're not on wifi, this method will use data but not your minutes.

No good for Cuba.
For Canadian users want to use mobile air time minutes instead of data, I would recommend Voxox instead. Voxox will let you have an telephone number in southern California, United States for free which can forward incoming calls via PSTN to any telephone number in Canada or United States for free. You do not even have to install their app. It is a lot simpler to setup, but again, it use your mobile voice minutes instead of data.
Interesting I may give this a shot thanks!

I had same issue, stopped by Tmobile store and found out that the problem was with the access points names settings in mobile networks. Tmo person had same phone GS6E so we copied there settings and walla it worked.
Tmobile had replaced my sim card but that didn't fix it.

Google Voice workaround in Australia

Should have came here first...
I bought a Skype number to use as a business number, but afterwards, established that their custom voicemail message option has been turfed. I read somewhere that forwarding the Skype number to a Google Voice number was a workaround, but being in Australia, it hasn't proven too successful.
I tried to get a GV number, used a USA mobile number from one of those online SMS verification services, which all worked okay up until the point that the GV number never actually made it to my account. So in other words, everything appeared successful, but when I'd check my account, no GV number was there, and calling the number gave me a disconnect message. The good news is that it only took up about 50 hours of my time.
Any suggestions, advice, workarounds, or painkillers?
Thanks team.
