ESN change over phone for verizon?

My phone died today (r.i.p.) and I am going to get my number switched to my sister's old phone. I went to the verizon wireless store and they said I could pay $15 to get the ENS change done in the store or I could call the people. I just want to know what they will ask and how to do it. I have the number. So what happens...what do they ask?ESN change over phone for verizon?

ESN change over phone for verizon?
there is usually a $15 fee for an esn change however it's up to the rep on if they charge it or not. you are actually able to do this on your own by makign sure your old phone is powered off and from the new phone (your sister's phone) dial *228 and press send. pick option number 3 and follow the prompts. you would need the last four of the account holders ssn or password depends on how the account is set up.
