I have a lg shine but the imei is stopping me ?

Question

i need a method of changing or unlocking the imei number all the guys tell me that it MAY be illegal but i asked lg over the net and they said that it is ok if i got it form a market or a friend and they wished me good luck in changing the number they said it is the hardest one to change then emaild me a bunch of cool links and a simple software to help conect the phone to the laptop x*x

Answer 1

It's illegal to change and it is also not possible to change the IMEI. The phone has been reported stolen no matter what you've been told

Answer 2

changing the imei is not as simple as it sounds.

it is paired with another number and has checksum digits and god knows what else.

being able to do that would be highly illegal as this can clone phones.

if you figure it out, please let ME know! ;-)

Answer 3

This is totally illegal. Did someone sell you a stolen phone? I'd watch what I was asking on the net.You never know who is taking note of your activities.
