I bought samsung A800 (sgh-a800) phone, because it's easy to change IMEI on that phone using a data cable and a free program.
The reason why I want to change IMEI, is for security. I can just switch sim card and IMEI so that cops can't recognize me on the phone network.
However, I need to be sure that this actually works and right now I am a bit confused. First I press #*06# to view my current IMEI, and then I change it to something else random and press #*06# again and I can see that the IMEI changed. but to be 100% sure, I wanted to confirm this way:
I used a IMEI number that is from a phone recently reported stolen, so that the Imei is banned from Central Equipment Identity Register network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Equipment_Identity_Register)
After changing to that banned imei, the phone actually recieve signal and is able to recieve/send SMS + Call. If the IMEI changing really worked, then the phone should not work on the network with this banned IMEI.
The question is: Is my IMEI really changed as it says on display when entering #*06# to view imei, or is it just fake?
I been searching but cannot find any information on this topic.

Buying a new phone where I live will cost 50$. I do business that makes me want to change IMEI up to many times per week. That will be expensive by the time. + I have already put alot of effort and time to get these phones + cable and software to change imei. So if possible to change, I would really prefer that. but thanks anyways.

Thanks for your suggestion. The phones I use and sim card are already always pre paid, and like you say I use the phones 100% only for business.
And I think its best to have phone switched on only at public places and not at home due to Location tracking. By doing all this, I know that the phone cannot be tracked to me. But my plan about changing imei was to get the perfect re-useable anonymous phone. First I would use *2767*3855# code, to erase all data on phone, break the sim card and replace with new, then change IMEI. this would make the phone appear as 100% new phone issued from factory. Would save me alot of money and time if I use that for years to come for not needing to buy new phones every time I need new imei. But I take your point to consideration, if I can get 30$ phones, I could try to card lots of those if I cannot find a method to verify that my IMEI is actually changed. Just sad that I spent Lots of time to find phone model, software and buy cable + equipment to change the IMEI for no use : )

That why i advice you Just buy at small Grocery/liquors store , Dirty Prepaid phone where u can active the simcard Online with name as John Doe ..
30$ prepaid phone , are nothing for your security . Aslo dont card it , pay them real cash ... and NEVER call friend/familly on there REAL NUMBERS with such numbers . ( With that they Never catch you due too phone )
They Can only track the Point where your GSM connected when u do call , but on 1 Point in your hoods like 1000ppl can be connected same time so they cant know wich one of them you are :)

1= If you want Lastest mobile phone for personnal use , got CLEAN phone & CLEAN sim card , never talk shit on phone , dont got it with you at OP's .
(Aslo dont use it for acces Forum & checker , ICQ .... )

2=If you need DIRTY Phone for work , ONLY BUY PREPAID PHONE in cash .
DONT CALL YOUR FAMILLY Clean phone etc... only use too call other dirty phone or call your victims :D

Cheers .

I think you are right. I should just buy new phones, I cant waste more time on IMEI changing. I have always been using pre paid phones, and I do like you say and only use SIM only for dirty work seperated from my personal phone.
For best security, I should have new phone for every sim card I use, and I am using 10+ a week for scam business.
this would cost me 1200$ a month, if I buy new phones. But I guess, I dont have to change phone for every sim card but use same pre paid phone for maybe 1 Month and then buy new phone.
This would mean that the police can link all crimes from that phone for 1 month, logs of all sims etc.
But aslong I hide the phone, and dont get caught in any ways and just remember to trash it and replace once a month. I think that should be just fine?
In my country its not possbiel to register SIM on john doe, but need to be on real name and social security number. But no problem, I'm using victims details.

About phone gps/location tracking.
Do you think it will be safe to call and have the phone switched on every day from my own house and have my real personal phone switched on near this business phone, at the same time?
I dont live in a crowded street, but rather small street and place with maybe 50 houses.

My phones are crappy like cheapest nokia or samsung for sale. And my personal phone is same, the cheapest and worst you can buy : )
The method I know that cops can use is Triangulation. I think its hard for them to do and if I use in center city it should be even harder. But then again, scam business is not that serious crime that makes cops want to put big priority to use advanced Triangulation. If I killed somebody, and they needed to track the phone then it would be worse.
But I guess that same goes for recieving SMS, I should also do that in center city and not in my house? cuz sms will transmit signal so my location is logged and can be triangulated. Or will this be safe from home, if I just open phone quickly and close phone after few secounds

For conclude :

- In any case "That is not you doing call " :) No evidence found = no proof (at least u Talk and say it you )
- Use prepaid no more 15days then put it in the river ..
- Dont talk ppl about what you do , ppl talk as girl in the street ..

PS: Interpol dont have time Trace (Triangulate ) for scam phone ( they think that african ...aahahah )

about the triangulation ) i hear that this is a costly procedure which law enforcement pays the cell phone company to perform . this involve sending ping from multiple tower to determine location of cell ))

now -- one thing which is reasonably to believe. if you have had the phone for a short amt of time, maybe few week - safe to say ur phone is probably not hot... yet

investigation take time, take into acountibility the length of time for chargeback to occur, for police report to be file, and think if feds will even bother investigate because amount of loss is less then x amount of dollar )

once i have phone for maybe 1-2month of fraud, then i stop useing. one time while i in US on different trip bro's i had prepaid thru virgen mobile. i carded the minute from website for about 3 month. in this time, i had buy another prepay which was another virgen mobile phone...

NOW the wierd part )) i had not paid for phone number 1 for some time so i KNOW this phone out of air time. i turn it on to proceed to clear all info out before throw away in sewer and i make test call. TEST CALL GO THROUGH --

i say what the fuck bro! i then call 611 to find out when monies was added and woman tell me that some management added a $30 dollar bonus to my acount but couold not telll me "why" ))

i beleev this is when they are trying to get you, they add fund to acct to turn back on hope u use it... i threw it away anyway. fuck that

I am pretty sure new phones in US have to have some sort of GPS chip in them so 911 can locate them in an emergency. Best bet is to just keep the phone off when your not using it.

"Nearly all new cell phones sold in America have some GPS receiving capability built in. Those that don't can connect to a server that uses techniques discussed in the last section to analyze their signals and determine their location. This allows the phones to transmit a person's location to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) after dialing 911. But that's all a lot of phones can do with their GPS"

Please note, if you want to make a deal with this user, that it is blocked.
I have the hardware and sofware to change IMEI for some phones. Very easy to use and doesnt cost a lot. If anybody want to know what it is just PM me. I change my IMEI every day and it takes me 30 seconds.

Better than buying new phones each day.
