Industry shifting to 56-bit identifiers as ESN pool runs out of numbers.  Service providers and manufacturers of wireless phones are in the middle of their own version of the data world’s move from IPv4 to IPv6.  Since the 1980s, a 32-bit electronic serial number (ESN) has been a unique hardware identifier in U.S. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) cell phones, and a similar User Identity Module ID (UIM-ID) has identified phones using Removal User Identity Modules.
