I made a mistake. The ESN is displayed in four windows, 2 hexadecimal numbers
at a time. We wrote down each pair of hex numbers. Putting them all together
as a single 8-digit hex number and converting it to decimal provides an 11 digit
number. However, the phone won't call out except to Rogers *611.

However, I'm trying to figure out why Motorola displays the ESN in four separate
windows. If the results of each window are converted individually, then placed
in a line, it will give an entirely different 11 digit decimal number. Is this
the actual ESN?? Motorola in Utah don't have the answer.

Thanks
