For the rest of you non cell phone using people.
Electronic Serial Number (ESN) - The unique identification number embedded in
a wireless phone by the manufacturer. Each time a call is placed, the ESN is
automatically transmitted to the base station so the wireless carrier's
mobile switching office can check the call's validity. The ESN cannot easily
be altered in the field. The ESN differs from the mobile identification
number, which is the wireless carrier's identifier for a phone in the
network. MINs and ESNs can be electronically checked to help prevent fraud.
