Ppl!

I would really appreciate if somebody could give me a clue what to
do...

I signed up for a year with T-Mobile through an authorised dealer that
offers tons of rebates and free T610s.
I am planning to sell T610s on Ebay and get those rebates. I will be
using my old T610s instead of new ones...

Here is the tricky question: what should I do with new phone's IMEI?
Should I change it or leave it alone?

On the rebate form I need to specify phone's IMEI but what if somebody
who bought this phone from me will also connect it to T-Mobile? Will
there be any problems or conflicts?
Theoretically I have rights to do anything I want with this new
phone... Right? Like sell...
All they need from me - if to maintain service?
Pleeeease help to understand...

Happy new year!
Xden

Leave it.

No.

Normally there shouldn't be any problem. What's important is your
SIM, not the IMEI of the handset.

You can't change it so I guess you will leave it alone.

Of course you may be asking a legitimate question but not using the proper
terminology.
