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

ivolt:
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.

That's a fat lie mr pantami,spare me that bullshit.Nin linkage with sim cards ain't going to curb any crime.

How do you even combat crime when their is massive poverty in the land? Naija criminals are one of the smartest they must always find ways to bypass any hurdle.I won't be surprised to see people selling sim cards already linked with nin on the streets, Nowadays some kidnappers use phones like the thuraya satellite phone to collect huge ransoms,the thuraya has its own network, untraceable and untrackable,not even advanced police equipments can track it.
