Is this legal?
So, first of all I want to make it very clear that I'm not trying to get something free out of this. I'm already paying for the blackberry data plan. I am just curious that if I bought another CDMA phone (say the Storm 2, or the droid), could I use the ESN from my blackberry and make the ESN on the Storm 2 or the droid match? I'm not trying to incite rebellion or go to federal prison or anything here. I just want to know because I want a nice touchscreen phone but the hero isn't doing it for me, and I feel it may be many many more months before cellular south gets a touchscreen phone I would really like. Also, I do know that they could just add the new ESN to their database (if it was a CDMA phone), but I also know that unless you have a really really good friend in cellular south willing to lose their job for you that its not going to happen. So, thanks in advance for the discussion I imagine will soon follow.
P.S. can a mod move this to the general section?? I can't figure out how to post there.
Hi jpettitt1, that is a great question. I dont have an answer for You, I have been wondering about something like this too.
I am ready to upgrade from the 8830we to a tour. My workplace is very rough on cellphones phisicaly. i would like to use the esn from my new phone on my old one (if possible) to use at work, and save my new one for offwork times.
Well.... changing the ESN is not the only problem you will have. The main problem is getting the radio that's in the non cellular south phone to work with csouth towers and what not. That is very dangerous because playing with radios can EASILY turn a good phone into paper weight :/
