HTH. Cheers, -- tlvp > > My dual SIM phablet has an IMEI for each SIM. 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!
