Hi,

I purchased my phone from EBay and it looks like the seller for whatever reason superglued the battery to the phone..???I don’t know…anyways my problem is that I need the ESN number to activate my phone, but without removing the battery I am not able to obtain. Is there anywhere on the phone that would give it to me or maybe something I can punch in for it to display. Any help would be great. Thanks

I think you can get the ESN by hitting ##786 .

But that's nasty (glueing the battery to the phone). I suppose you might want to do that if the battery latch was failing, but hopefully a removeable glue was used (like rubber cement or silicone).

Thanks! It worked. I have activated. I just hope I don't need a battery anytime soon LOL
