Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to change the ESN on a nokia 6560 phone.
Right now I have an old 5125, and I bought a used 6560 off ebay so I can
finally have an up-to-date phone. My provider doesn't provide anything
newer (I am in the middle of nowhere in the woods), so I am stuck trying to
do things by myself. I read that it's possible somehow to do ESN/MIN
changes, but I'm wondering how. I want to be able to "clone" my 5125
settings on to my 6560.

Thanks!

You simply call up your provider, and tell them you want to do a ESN
change. You give them the new ESN, they activate the new phone.

Why would you do anything else?>

Because some operators will not activate an ESN that's either in their
database as having been on the network before or one that they've
sold. It might work dandy but if the operator doesn't want to
activate an ESN that's not in their database you're basically SOL.
Such a situation exists for example between AT&T Wireless and what was
known as Rogers AT&T in Canada.

That's my scenerio. My provider only will allow the phones they cell, which
is the 5125 and some motorola that I don't want either. I was wondering if
there is a way on the phone itself to change its esn to match that of my
5125 so I can have my new phone without needing to buy it from them.
