Talked with Mr. Hoser (sp?). For $300 + $35 s&h he'll send you a device that allows you to program an ESN (specifically yours from another phone that you own) into a Novatel phone. You provide the Novatel phone (all models with #8320 base unit work according to Mr. Hoser) and the ESN from your current phone. The procedure involves removing the PROM from the Novatel phone, inserting the device in its socket, entering a password and your current phone's ESN, and reinstalling the PROM. Two passwords are provided: one lets you program the ESN into the Novatel phone the first time, the other lets you restore the old ESN so you can sell the Novatel phone or have it repaired if needed. He also has a dealer incentive program if you're interested. He's sending me a brochure on the whole thing. He indicated that he had gotten requests to do this for 'many' cellular operators who have customers that want to have two phones with a single number.
