  That's great! That means if one IMEI says the phone is stolen, you can
still continue to use the other half-a-phone!

  But seriously, as tlvp says, a dual-SIM phone *needs* only one IMEI,
but using 2 probably isn't a problem, as long as they identify the same
unique phone.

  In any case, whatever you do, don't *change* either IMEI, or the
nospam-police will be down on you like a ton of bricks!
