While I believe this is entirely possible, I'm having a hard time believing it. First, to cache by esn would involve a cumulatively significant cost, with little benefit to the telco. Replicating and storing simm card data would benefit only the consumer. If the telcos were going to the expense of doing that to benefit their customers, they would be touting it as another service they provide.
