t608 ESN -- help please.

Hello.

I bought a t608 used, but Sprint is telling me the ESN under the battery
might not be the right one (no idea how that could be). Anyway, is
there a way to find the ESN number in the menus? I know this can be
done on some phones, so hopefully it can be done on this one too.

anybody with a t608??

thanks.

ESNis the Electronic Serial Number. I can't tell you how it is used but at
least you know wat it means.

I found a hidden menu (thanks to google) that shows all the info I
needed. Unfortunately, the ESN matches, so now I'm screwed.

Apparantly, you can't use this phone with an 3rd party employee acct.

I wish they would've told me this BEFOREHAND when I called to make sure
the esn was clean. Now I need to try to return it, or sell it. I love
the phone, and I hate Sprint it's a love hate relationship, I
suppose.

the guy at Sprint told me he tried everything to get it to work, but
every time he entered the ESN his computer screen would just reset.

grr!

I've heard the rumors of 'Big Brother' and 'Aliens' tracking us for years.

I bet you've bought one of their cellphones. ;-)

Did you notice the ear you used to listen, bleeding slightly in the inner
ear canal?
