Is it safe to tell somebody my phone's ESN#? I am selling my blackberry on eBay and I was asked twice if I could provide my ESN#. Is it safe to give out this information? :tazz:

Most likely not. They can use that number to clone your phone.

Just to reiterate ViperKillerWannabe's comment in bolder terms...Absolutely Not!!!! The purchaser gets the ESN when they receive the Blackberry. :tazz:
