    Yes you are correct!

    But in our discussion it was implied/assumed a random UNIQUE IMEI or MAC address.

    For example most of people have a pile of unused older phones which are NOT IN USE and you could use thoses IMEIs without issues.

      a random UNIQUE IMEI

      How do you guarantee that it’s unique? I think you can’t

      For example most of people have a pile of unused older phones which are NOT IN USE and you could use thoses IMEIs without issues.

      Fair, but how does one know which IMEIs were used by now unused phones?

        IMEIs are unique by design… Any existing device SHOULD have a unique IMEI. So when you use an older device IMEI should work perfectly.
