EVO and Telus

[Dragoon123]

Hi, I am looking to get an EVO off ebay for use on Telus.
Looking at the upgrade page on the telus mobility site I just need:
"If the PCS handset has a hexadecimal ESN or MEID, please ensure the "hex" box is checked off on your request."

Does this mean I would need to get a phone with a ESN from ebay, or can I just call telus and will they be able to activate it?

Also I took a look at this:

Getting Started
If your device is compatible with the TELUS network, you'll need to purchase a TELUS SIM card and select a rate plan to activate it. You can purchase a TELUS SIM online or visit your nearest TELUS store

this link checks IMEI.. Theres your answer.. IMEI is the GSM equivelant of
CDMA's ESN.... Cant place a CDMA phone on a GSM carrier...
