RadioPhone Presents:

Wierd tidbit: A correspondent reports: "Some people are paying Digital Rates & using Analog phones, they program their phone with a Digital ESN & give that to the Cell Carrier then just us the Analog side of the system w/ any AMPS phone, don't ask me-I aint tried it so I don't know about that one." Motorola phones use different ESN prefixes for digital phones, so one could simply use RadioPhone's ESN Prefix Table to make up a D-AMPS (TDMA) ESN.
