Talk:Electronic serial number

what exactly is an esn? why is it important? what does it do?

I had the same question, and found further information on an FCC webpage (http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/cellphonefraud.html). Hope you find this information useful! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.63.49.209 (talk) 02:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

The first link (http://www.tiaonline.org/standards/strategic-initiativesesn/index.cfm), gives an 404-error, this needs to be addressed. --89.150.160.21 (talk) 11:49, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
