    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?>

    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.
