The IMEI number is a device identifier that allows service providers and manufacturers to recognize a specific phone. IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Even if there are many mobile phones that share the same model, it is possible to recognize a particular one with the help of the unique device identifier. Each phone has its own unique device identifier and it enables mobile carriers to prevent specific phones from connecting to a wireless network or to get service, if the device has been stolen or lost. It can also be used to check if the warranty of the device is still valid, based on information like activation date and phone number. The IMEI is required in cases where users file a warranty claim.
In addition, manufacturers may use the IMEI to track common issues that could affect a specific phone model. There are many practical uses for the IMEI, but some people may prefer to change it. While changing the IMEI is not advisable and it is a procedure that could be used for illegal purposes, there may be legitimate reasons to do it. You may need to protect your privacy by hiding your location and changing your profile. In that case, modifying the IMEI could be a solution and here, you will learn how to do it in a simple way. Just make sure that you are aware of the possible implications of changing your IMEI (bear in mind that doing this may be illegal in some countries).
