Can you please expand on your phone? What model is it? It sounds very unusual for the user to be able to change the imei.

- londons_explore 7y agoA knock-off Umidigi A3 Pro. It's an awesome Chinese $50 android phone. Because it hasn't passed all the network tests, most mobile networks would block an entirely random IMEI, so they suggest you type in the IMEI from your old phone (as long as it's 4g - if it isn't, they have a support email address you can contact and they'll give you an IMEI that works in your country) Even the legit Umidigi A3 Pro's (which cost $80, and have proper certifications) have an 'imei change' tool.
- salawat 7y agoNot for long I'll wager...
- solarkraft 7y agoI'll wager the opposite. Of course it's not legal anywhere, but I don't expect any customs people to be able to tell that a phone comes with an changeable/unapproved IMEI.
