What about imei?
Discussion
Buy a second-hand phone off eBay if you're worried about IMEI.
Better yet, get someone else to buy it for you
I see so many people getting arrested for things they didn’t do, simply because they purchased something in their name. In my opinion, this is not okay. It’s very careless. Where is the humanity?
Although, I wish I could shuffle the IMEI everytime the phone connects to the network, like with mac addresses.
Or a local market place, paying cash.
