Yes. As it stands right now, it is a federal offense to move or modify a handsets ESN. There are no extenuating circumstances. There are no loopholes. ESNs and MEIDs are regulated by the FCC and the FCC alone. If you mess with ESNs or MEIDs, you have officially broken a federal law. No ifs, ands, or buts.
