I have an old analog Motorola car phone that is useless on Bell. It has
worked
for years but their analog service is non-existent now. So I took out an
account with Rogers. The phone has been programmed "correctly" by a
Rogers tech
that is (was) familiar with these phones at one time.
The hex ESN was extracted from the phone in test mode and given to Rogers
to
covert. When trying to make a call, the Rogers lady comes on and says to
"call
*611 as your phone is not authorized............"
I have tried different hex to decimal ESN converters. One called HexPal
gives
me 10 digits, which is one zero less than the Rogers conversion. I'm told
that
it should be 11 digits. If I covert each of the hex numbers separately
and put
them together, I get an entirely different number, but is 10 digits.
I'm going back to London Cellular on Friday so they can take another 'kick
at
the can'. In the meantime I thought I'd try to find out something on my
own.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
