Questions & Answers
Is there a difference between ESN and MEID?
ESN and MEID will function in the same way. Currently, an ESN (Electronic Serial Number) is assigned to each customer handset. Since the current supply of ESNs is being exhausted, a new type of handset identifier (MEID) was needed. MEID handsets will act no differently than ESN handsets and will work in the exact same way.
