Motorola DPC-550  (170-1059) System Registration Data  Faxback Doc. # 15577

A cellular phone owner purchases service from a cellular system operator,
just as he would purchase land-line service (for standard telephones) from
the local telephone company.  In cities with cellular coverage, the
customer may have the option of picking one of two possible cellular
system operators.

Before you can obtain a phone number, you will have to supply the cellular
system operator with your electronic serial number.  All cellular
telephones contain a special Electronic Serial Number (ESN).  The ESN
uniquely identifies the phone and provides a measure of protection against
theft and fraud.  The ESN is an eight-character (numeric/hexadecimal)
number printed on the box the phone came in.

Once you supply the electronic serial number to the system operator, he
will issue the phone number and supply the other information required to
program the NAM.  You should immediately write down the information for
future reference.
