well aparently you didnt do it ever 8)
 
you also need to make sure that youhave a valid MIN/ESN combo.  So you 
don't just switch the ESN.  You have to vampiore other ESSN/MIN combos 
that are valid and switch among them.
 
also the Rad Shack books are not as close to as informative as the 
manufacturers technical manual.

if you just switch ESN then youwont get thru, since when you transmit to 
the cell-0base you transmit the MIN and the ESN which are compared as a 
pair to the ones on record and must be valid together.  Now the thing is 
you can pick up other phones MIN/ESN combos as they tranmit to tower if 
you have a scanner, or suitably modified cellphone.
