They couldn't stand the backlash. However we still need explanations how they intend to capture d numbers automatically without the consent of d phone device owner. Biometrics were captured on multiple exercises and d FG can't harness d data so collated into building an impenetrable security architecture but are hoping to use numbers they are going to capture "automatically" to achieve maximum security. APC is a fraud

After submitting your IMEI...those idiots doesn't know u can still change it..once you root your fon...how dumb Pantami and his terrorist cohorts are.

Changing of IMEI is illegal. One must be very careful nowadays because the law will not excuse your ignorance.

Immediately you insert a SIM into your phone, your IMEI will be sent to the service provider.
It is not a new process, the government just want to start getting the data and linking it to other biometrics.
What you said is true, in fact Everytime you make a call your IMEI is logged with that call at the service provider's data center.All service provider know the manufacturer and make of your phone, what the government is trying to do is like what we have in the use which is known as the FCC ID database.


Don't be ignorant, the government already have your IMEI.

MASTAkiLLAh:
such equipments have been on ground at least since GEJ's era. It's what police use in tracking kidnappers for example. The DSS also has them and that's why I try as much as possible to only buy new phones instead of second hand no matter how tempting the offer is, I personally know someone languishing in jail now with a robbery case hanging on his neck for being in possession of a stolen phone. The idea is good, the personnel behind it is what people are afraid of

What makes changing IMEI illegal? Can u pls quote d law?

DrMuzungu:
IMEI is transmitted to the GSM operator each time a mobile device connects to the GSM tower. It does not matter if you make a call, send SMS, connect to the internet or if you do none of that. As soon as your device gets the signal, it transmits the GSM number, IMEI and several other things.

Even if you change your IMEI, the original IMEI can be retrieved. Why do Nigerians always think about circumventing things, strange country. Creating a device management system should not cause so much outcry as being witnessed.

greensandy:


I may not know about the law but by international standard I'm quite sure it's not allowed to be changed and it can get you in trouble. Although one can change it at will if the phone is rooted.

Hope this might convince you?
What happens if I change my IMEI number?
You will get into trouble if you change your IMEI number to another one which belongs to a stolen phone as tampering of IMEI number is a punishable act. Moreover, the network operators may get to know and block your IMEI number if it is not the original one.

With everything u said, I don't see how it answers my question? If u don't no about d law, on what basis did u make this assertion?:

"Changing of IMEI is illegal. One must be very careful nowadays because the law will not excuse your ignorance."

InaNla:


Painfully, the terrorist patami and his fellow terrorists have Nigerians sensitive detailed information already,
