Finding Your Phone’s ESN
If you set up service using your PCS Phone, the network
automatically communicates the ESN to us. You’ll only
need this number when you’re setting up service by calling
us from a phone other than your new PCS Phone. The
ESN, or Electronic Serial Number, is an 11-digit number
written on the barcode sticker attached to the phone. To
find it, remove the phone’s battery.

After writing down the ESN, replace the battery and turn
on your phone by pressing for a few seconds.
