Can the IMEI number be changed?
An IMEI is permanently recorded in every phone at the factory once. It cannot be erased or altered at all in devices made after around 1993 without replacing a specific chip (or IC) on the mainboard, or by replacing the mainboard itself. Performing a factory reset will restore the original device IMEI.Nov 28, 2023
