"Years ago i had a conversation with Daniel about implementing the possibility to change the IMEI of the device. He is of course aware about the privacy impact a non changeable identifier as the IMEI has. But there is nothing we could do about this. Neither the hardware provides the possibility to do that nor the law allows it. With the exception Africa. This is the only continent where it is explicitly allowed."

They say you're not allowed to change a number stored in a device that you own 🤣

Buy Banana for phone calls (nokia 8110 4g)

Remove Kaios

Install GerdaOs

Randomize Sim imei, mac address as you wish

It supports LTE so you can buy internet only sim and share net with other phone. In my case pixel with grapheneos.

Just look at that beauty :)

Are there portable hotspots that support random IMEI and eSIM?

you are also not provided specs of the chips that make up said device for “security by obscurity” reasons 🙂

a number is of minor concern

It's also illegal to change a vehicle's VIN.
