  Below is a programming cheat sheet that I compiled for my Novatell cell
 phone. Perhaps others will find it of use to them. There are still a few
 items that have ??? following them. As you might guess I have not been
 able to figure out what they do exactly. This afternoon will find me in
 the local radio repair shop to have my phone set-up (switching carriers).
 Any additional information that I can squeeze from the service rep will
 follow in another post.

  Remember not to try anything to silly. Because without burning a new (E)PROM
 there is no way to change the ESN.

====================================================================

ENTERING PROGRAM MODE:

Get your phone into FULL LOCK mode (it should say LOCK on the screen)

Then hit "#259"

Once you get into the program mode, you use the up and down volume
keys on the handset to go from option to option. Use "SND" to swtich
an option on and off (ie: toggle them), such as in the case of
option "IRI SET", which if it is on will show "SET" and if it is off
will show "CLR". Use "SND" to switch between the two.

When you are done programming, hit END, and END again. You will
be able to use your phone with the new options programmed in.
