So now I had four ESNs and the phone numbers that went with them. For the rest of the afternoon, the wait was absolutely nerve-racking. I had no idea whether or not I would be able to pull this off. Would the Novatel people sense that something fishy was up, and never send the chips? Would there be FBI agents staked out in the hotel lobby, waiting to pick me up? Or would I, by the next afternoon, have the capability of changing the number of my cell phone as often as I wanted?
