Checking ESN

Hi,

Is there a way to check, including online, if the ESN is "clear" before buying an used cell phone
from someone or on the Web?

Thanks very much in anticipation.

Ask the customer service of the cellular company you wish to use the phone
on.

I appreciate that suggestion! Never occurred to me!

Regards and thanks.
