I have received  several messages seeking for a guide on how to change android phones IMEI(serial number) since most free browsing cheats  requires  imei tweaking, today am going to take you guys through on how to change your android phones IMEI number

What is IMEI? : Imei is an acronym for International Mobile Equipment Identity is a number, usually unique, to identify 3GPPand iDEN mobile phones, as well as some satellite phones. It is usually found printed inside the battery compartment of the phone, but can also be displayed on-the-screen on most phones by entering *#06# on the dial pad, or alongside other system information in the settings menu on smartphone operating systems.

In layman’s language, imei is your phone’s identity. In fact, it’s with your IMEI that network providers ascertain the model and brand of any phone.

What’s The Role Of IMEI Number

• The IMEI number is used by a GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call their network provider and instruct them to blacklist the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless on that network and sometimes other networks too, whether or not the phone’s subscriber identity module (SIM) is changed.

• Imei number can be used to track stolen phones by security agencies,

Tempering with phone’s IMEI is illegal in some country, countries like the USA, but its legal over here in Africa and Asia

The major reason we change our mobile phone IMEI is to enjoy some service providers promotional offers that are not available for our phone models, promotional offers like double data offer, free Data offers, cheap data plans etc
