Is it possible to change your iPhone IMEI easily?

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=657
As I understand it´s possible to change on older as iPhone3 and iPhone3G, but still no one has succeeded to accomplish this om iPhone4...am i right?
I work att a large phonecompany and are interested how it works in thoses cases we block IMEI.

Hey Dave, you have understood me right. Thank you
My purpose is not for personal gain to change IMEI. We operators feel that the iPhone is very attractive for fraudsters to get quick money and it encourages fraud. The only way to make it unattractive to purchase the iPhone via private web sales and advertisements of all kinds is to block the IMEI. It is difficult to obtain information on the web whether it is possible to modify an iPhone's IMEI. As I understand it in the link I attached earlier it seemed easy to accomplish this change. My colleague said that apparently a change of IMEI has succeeded on the iPhone 3G and 3G, but not yet on the 4G.
I'm not interested in how to do it but just the possibility whether it is possible or not?
It's just that it feels pointless to block the IMEI if it still can be changed so easily.
Hope I was clearer now and that someone has an answer on my reflection.
Regards Anki Sweden

  • Is it possible to sync your iphone to 2 pc's (work/home)and keep outlook calendar?

    I had a iphone but returned it, but now I need confirmation that it is possible to have an iphone sync between to PCs (work / home).  I want to know if its possible to have it sync the phone with two computers.  Home has itunes for music and such, work doesn't have itunes on it - but I need to make sure that my calendar syncs between the two computers. 
    I am concerned that if I sync at home it will upload fine but then if I try to sync at work it will want to delete all my contact on my computer and replace with what's on the iphone?
    So basically - is it possible to have your iphone sync with two seperate pc's?  I use outlook calendar and live my life with it - I must be able to use it on the iphone - can you?
    Can you change the way names are stored in the contacts, I have businesses and personal contacts - I want to be able to look up a business not have to remember the name of the person who runs it?

    You didn't say what contacts application you are syncing your iPhone with, but almost all give you a choice to list contacts by name or by business. That setting on the computer should transfer to the synced iPhone. Works with my Mac.

  • When is it possible to exchange your iPhone 4s for an iPhone 5s?

    When is it possible to exchange your iPhone 4s for an iPhone 5s? After 3 years, my iPhone 4s is no longer working and I have tried everything, including going to the apple store to get it repaired. It will not sync with the music I have on my laptop: new or deleted, and it also skips through songs on itunes on my iphone. It has greyed out songs and won't play any of them. It also changes randomly from vibrate to ring on and off without me touching the switch on the side. It's like my phone is possessed or something. I have tried everything and have decided to soon buy an iphone 5s. Can I get some sort of discount or exhange because the problem is out of my hands? Also, I have recieved a mophie iphone 4s case for christmas. It is buy the iphone 5s, will I be able to exhange my mophie phone case for an iphone 5s mophie phone case?

    Apple will exchange your defective iPhone for one of the same model for their standard out-of-warranty exchange price. They will not upgrade you to an iPhone 5S as part of that program. Apple does accept trade-ins toward purchase of a new iPhone through retail Apple Stores in the US. I've not seen the amount they will allow, so you'll need to talk to your local Apple Store. In a few other countries Apple also works with a company who will give you some return on an existing device; select your country as appropriate on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/recycling/
    Similar programs are available in a few other countries, and some dealers may have their own trade-in programs.
    None, however, will give you much for a phone that has hardware issues, if they'll give you anything at all.
    I have recieved a mophie iphone 4s case for christmas. It is buy the iphone 5s, will I be able to exhange my mophie phone case for an iphone 5s mophie phone case?
    That would depend on who you bought the case from and their return policies. If you bought it from Apple, then you have fourteen days from date of purchase to return it. If you purchased from a dealer, you'll have to ask the dealer about a return.

    If I bought the iPhone 5 in Japan and have the documents, it is possible to change my iphone to not need to use gevey?

    If you had purchased a HTC One it would have been the same thing.
    If you had purchased a Nokia runing Windows it would have been the same thing.
    This is a huge bad point about cell phones, not iPhones.

  • HT204053 is it possible to change your account to a new icloud ID?

    Is it possible to change your name in [email protected] and transfer your account space and material saved from the old account to the new one?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately it's not possible to change that address and if you create a new account you can't transfer your existing content.
    if you don't like the email address you have created, you might create an alias and use that instead.

  • Possible fix if your iPhone 3G isn't being recognised by iTunes!

    Hi all,
    I was having this problem, my iPhone was being recognised by Windows XP as a camera but would not show up in the left hand column in iTunes. After going through all the tutorials, checking services and drivers, I decided to *turn WiFi off* and try again. Bingo. It sync'd first time and I have tested this method and it works everytime. Seems being connected to a wireless home network interferes with iTunes or something like that.
    Give it a try and let me know how you all go!

    You're in luck because i just ran into this issue and fixed it.
    For some silly reason your apple iphone device driver gets moved under device manager and itunes can't see your phone as a result.
    To fix the issue:
    on your keyboard: windows key + pause/break key.  Then select Device Manager on the left of the window.
    If you expand Universal Serial Bus controllers you will likely not see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" listed.
    You'll have to do some poking around, because it will be under one of the other headers... found mine under "Portable Devices", but yours could literally be under any of them.
    Once you find "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver", right-click and select uninstall.  Follow prompts to uninstall.
    Then right-click "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and select scan for hardware changes.  Your PC will then install it to the proper location and iTunes will be able to see your iphone and sync.
    Dunno why it does this, but it does.
    Hope that helps,
    Cheers!

  • Is it possible to change your cdma iphone 5 to a gsm carrier, and then back to your previous cdma carrier?

    I'm using StraightTalk right now and am wanting to try out H20. I know my iphone 5 is gsm unlocked so the switch to the gsm H20 Network should be simple enough. I'm wondering though if for some reason I don't find H20 a good option can I switch back to StraightTalk on my CDMA network.

    If you have a CDMA iPhone 5 (in the USA, model A1429), and the GSM slot is truly unlocked (not just unlocked for international use) then you can use it with a GSM network.  You should be able to go back to the same CDMA network it was sold for - in other words, you cannot change to a different CDMA carrier as the CDMA carrier is permanently locked in firmware and cannot be altered.
    But make sure the GSM SIM slot is truly unlocked.  For example a USA Sprint iPhone 5 could have the GSM SIM slot unlocked for international use, but it would not accept a SIM card for any GSM carrier in the USA, only for overseas carriers.  I'm not sure what Verizon's policy was with iPhone 5 phones (with the new iPhone 5s or 5c, Verizon phones are sold with no lock of any kind on the GSM SIM slot).

  • How can you change your iPhone purchase to be shipped to a place other than your billing address?

    There is an "edit shipping" option, but the hyperlink is disabled. I'm purchasing the new iPhone 4S, and there seems to be no option to change the shipping address. Is this true for everyone?
    Thanks!

    Verizon will ship to any address you provide to them.  I've been a Verizon Wireless customer since 1999.  My iPhone 4s order will be shipped to an address other than my billing.  It even shows it plain as day in my confirmation email.  I would take a screen shot and show everyone, but I don't want to give out my address (obviously).  But you can ABSOLUTELY have something shipped to an address other than your billing.  I've had this done MANY times over the years.  The reason for this is that a lot of parents pay for their kids' phones at college and such.  So obviously, the shipping address can be different.  As long as the billing information is the same as the shipping.  That's the important thing.
