I am selling a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini and I was asked for the esn number. Should I give this out?
This is common when selling a phone. The buyer uses the IMEI number to verify that the phone is not blacklisted or unable to be activated with the carrier. attending on the situation, if the potential buyer is in your area, you can meet up at the local cellular provider's store and the store can verify that the phone can be activated or not. Generally if the seller refuses to give the potential buyer of the number, the buyer may feel something is wrong, and they may have problems having the phone activated.
