IMEIs are unique by design... Any existing device SHOULD have a unique IMEI. So when you use an older device IMEI should work perfectly.

Well done mate! 👏👏👏

Thank you! There is a beginning for anything.

Who wants to check the dictionary definitions that changed over time?

Anyone knows the changes to the definition of the "vaccine" in the past 4-5 years?

Exactly!

Yes you are correct!

But in our discussion it was implied/assumed a random UNIQUE IMEI or MAC address.

For example most of people have a pile of unused older phones which are NOT IN USE and you could use thoses IMEIs without issues.

No, there are no confusions. Changing the "id" like the MAC address or the IMEI has no impact on any system.

Its just like a new device joins a network.

For example, when a client device gets its IP from the dhcp server on a router, which allocates a random ip from a specific pool, it does not influence anything like ip packets routing...

The real issue is that it is forbiden, BECAUSE if you randomize it you do not have an unique id anymore to trace back a specific device...

Hope is more clear for you now!

Well done mate!

I'm thanksful that there are more people like us who understand the source of the issues...

Exactly! This person knows what I am saying! ☝️
