[b] This days, because people wants to cheat their Network providers, they resolved to changing their phone's IMEI ... E.g They change the IMEI
of there Android Device to that of a Blackberry,
so that they would be able to use cheaper
plans that are made specifically for
Blackberries on there Android devices.
These are the things you should know before
changing your phone's IMEI.
By changing your phone's IMEI;
- You've voided your Phone's warrant.
- You may render your phone useless or bricked.
- You may be sharing that new IMEI with over
several hundreds of people.
- Your device now belongs to the original owner
of your new IMEI.
- Your device may be blacklisted as a stolen
devices, thereby making it unusable on any
operator.
- Your device may be mistaken for a stolen
phone.
- You may have to pay for someones Crime
(sooner), be cause your share the same IMEI.
- Someone else can claim (and win) the
ownership of your phone.
- Your (phone's) activities can be easily
monitored... especially if you're targeted.
If you've changed your IMEI, then please revert
it as fast as possible...[/b]
