Once you have found the “Device Info” submenu, navigate to the ESN with this path:

If the phone has both a Menu key and a Function key, try the sequence for the Menu key first. If that doesn’t
work, try the sequence for the Function key.
Motorola (Manual Programming Only)
Manual programming of virtually all Analog Motorola phones is done by pressing the following buttons: FCN 0
000 000 000 000 RCL. If the phone you are working with uses this key sequence, it does not have digital capability
of any kind and should not be activated.
Manual programming of Analog/CDMA Motorola phones can be broken down into three different key sequences
(listed in order from oldest to newest.)
•
Press 74663 # 1 FCN FCN
•
Press 74663 # Menu Menu
•
Press 74663 # CLR CLR
If the ending key sequence is “Menu Menu”, sometimes you will be required to press “Menu Menu” very quickly,
meaning both presses of the Menu button must occur within half a second. Most models of Motorola phones do
not require you to press “Menu Menu” quickly.
Some models of Motorola phones that use these key sequences require the key sequence to be entered within 10
seconds after the phone starts. Most models of Motorola phones do not require you to enter the key sequence in
any set amount of time.
Finally, if you’re the sort of person that enjoys mnemonics, the key sequence “74663” spells “PHONE” on the
keypad (and above, for ESN retrieval, “8378 6633” spells “TEST MODE” on the keypad.)
Manual programming of the Motorola Q, which is a PDA-style of phone similar to the Palm Treo or RIM
Blackberry, is entered by pressing “## 0 73887 * Menu Call” (or “## 0 SETUP *” if you prefer) in the phone dialer
section. This should prompt you for a security code. Once you have reached the “Programming Menu”, select
“User Activation”. From this point, programming the Motorola Q is like programming any other Motorola phone
and is very straightforward. Once you have finished changing values, press “Back Back Exit” to save your changes
and exit NAM programming.
Nokia
Nokia has been extremely consistent with the software on their phones. Retrieving
the ESN can only be done through the NAM programming menu and accessing the
NAM programming menu has not changed since (approximately) 1994. While other
methods exist to access specific sections of NAM1 and NAM2, the key sequence “*
3001 # 12345 #” gives full access to the NAM programming menu.
