Re: Touch P3050 Changed ESN to pESN problems

You need a meid writer like cdma (fill in the blank) hehehe. pESN is only a pseudo esn. The carrier might not necessarily recognize it if it believes the phone has a true meid. MEID came into play because of the lack of enough digits to uniquely identify a phone on the network. The ESN's were getting exhausted.

Note that even having a meid writer doesn't mean you can write meid's to phones that don't support it. Keep in mind before meid came into play phones were build around the ESN specification. I do not believe the touch has meid abilities. Just like the TREO line, the 755P uses ESN, the centro uses meid.
