Finding your phone’s ESN
The ESN, or Electronic Serial Number, is an 11-digit
number written on the barcode sticker attached to the
phone. If you set up service using your Sprint PCS Phone,
the network automatically communicates the ESN to
Sprint. You’ll only need this number when you’re calling
Sprint to set up your service from a phone other than
your new Sprint PCS Phone. To find your phone’s ESN,
remove the phone’s battery. (For more information about
removing and replacing your battery, see “Installing and
Removing the Battery” on page 23.)
ESN: _________________________________________
After writing down the ESN, replace the battery and
turn your phone on by holding down the key for a
few seconds.
