Once in the NAM programming menu, simply select “Serial Number” to view the ESN or select whichever NAM
you wish to modify.
Once in a particular NAM, modifying the MIN is done by changing “Own Number” or “MIN”. Modifying the Home
SID is done through the “AMPS” section of the NAM programming and modifying the MDN is done by changing
the “Directory Number” in the “Defaults” section or by modifying the entry labeled “MDN”.
Newer Nokia phones have MIN, MDN, and Home SID all listed in the main section of the NAM. Older Nokia
phones only have the MIN in the main section, with Home SID under “AMPS Settings” and the MDN under
“Change Defaults”.
There are two exceptions to the information above. The two exceptions are the Nokia 6315i and the Nokia 6215i,
which are manufactured for Nokia by Pantech and are sometimes known as the Pantech PN-E330 and Pantech
PN-315 respectively (see the entry on Pantech phones for more information.)
Palm One
Palm One, more commonly referred to simply as Palm, makes the Treo series of phones. The Palm Treo is an
impressive PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) that is more computer than phone. Most people who activate this
style of phone do so as SMS Text Messages are easier to enter.
To enter the NAM programming on a Treo, press the following keys: “Phone #*# 000 000 Dial”.
Pantech
Pantech is a relative newcomer to the cellular industry and manufactures phones for Audiovox and Nokia. All
Pantech phones that have been encountered as of this writing utilize either the key sequence “## 200 22 002” (as
discussed in the Audiovox section) to access and program the NAM or ##7764726 Send (##PROGRAM).
RIM (Research In Motion)
RIM makes the popular Blackberry series of phones, which are similar in nature to the Palm Treo and which
many people activate for the same reason.
To enter the NAM programming on a Blackberry, press the following keys: “## 000 000 Send” and then use the
track wheel to “Save”.
Samsung
Samsungs should only be activated if the model number starts with SCH (Samsung CDMA Handset) or SPH
(Samsung PCS Handset). SCH is preferred and generally unlocked, whereas SPH models are usually locked on
Sprint’s network and require flashing before they can be used successfully on
Verizon’s network.
Samsung phones are reasonably consistent when it comes to accessing service
programming in that you are usually accessing one of three options in the menus,
however the key sequence to access those options changes from model to model.
Like most other manufacturers, only the key sequence to access the NAM
programming differs. Once the key sequence has been entered, you simply enter
