Relevant Background: "The International Mobile Equipment Identity ( IMEI , literally “international mobile equipment identity”) is a number that uniquely identifies each of the GSM , UMTS or LTE mobile telephone ( ME ) terminals ...This number allows the operator of a mobile network to identify the calling mobile and thus to authorize it, or not, to connect. It thus allows the establishment of emergency calls without SIM for certain countries (for example the European emergency number 112 in Europe). Its best-known role is to be able to block a stolen mobile ( gray list , black list ) from all operators who have subscribed to the IMEI database....It allows, in the event of theft, to prohibit the use of the device on the network. When the owner files a complaint, the serial number is added to a blacklist and the phone will no longer be authorized to make calls. However, it is sometimes possible to change this number using specific software or a "  box  ". However, fewer and fewer models technically allow this, which is at the same time heavily sanctioned by law in many countries on the same principle as the falsification of car registration plates, or identity documents, this remains of course very different from a license plate because the phone is owned by an individual and they are supposed to be able to use it as they see fit....More and more databases, private or public, local or regional are trying to organize themselves to allow the authorities and related services to know the IMEI numbers of telephones declared stolen, but these steps 1 come up against growing realities and economic challenges. of illegal international trafficking of stolen smartphones , the resale price of which in secondary markets arouses the envy of many players in all countries.."
