TOmmyJidex:
This days, because people wants to cheat there Network providers, they resolved to changing there 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...

Na condition make crayfish bend, same condition make joystick face downward. Omoh guys must improvise to survive. As economy keep head now, anyway na way.. Networks should understand that things are very hard. Go to market, you'll understand better.

Forget that thing.......

Tho changing of IMEI is a big risk, but erm wot do u expect wen data subs r on the high side for android fones compared to BB, n even the android fones suck more data dan BB......so pple wl always find an alternative...

All those things listed cannot happen in NAIJA yet.....maybe in the future sha, I wnt change IMEI again, by then we'll have cheaper subscription rates

bro HV u tried the new glo package? U really wasting cash on that BB sub, glo now has 1000 2gb, 2000 6gb 2500 10gb, and it works well, no over draining of data or anything like that.

Funny thing is glo sent me a message to change my APN from blackberry.net, to another so I can enjoy their new plan (I was like how them know say I dey use BB imei for android).

Just fail *777#, non blackberry plans n enjoy.
