[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
I'll get this to work, I've enabled PAM on every sprint phone I've had since they introduced the unlimited data plan bout 5-6 years ago ;)

we're going to get the MSL number and instead of writing to phone we'll just edit the settings in phone (safer than hard writing stuff that might screw with your MEID & ESN settings)

I'll post when I get it to work, just wanted to let yall know I'm hot on it.
