I have learned a costly lesson.

I purchased 2 V600's on Ebay with an IMEI of 000000011234564.

I believe these are invalid ?

Can someone help me to find the REAL imei's.

Thanks for your help.

These are the default IMEI. They are probally from a pilot run and not a
factory order. The IMEI was not programmed in. You can program it one time.
There is a way to do it with the PST tool.
They will work on systems that don't do full IMEI checks. The only area I
know of is Florida. They will not register and make a call in NJ and IL.

Good Luck

Hi,

You can also reset the IMEI with one from an old phone, it's not exactly
legal, but as long as you destroy the phones you take the IMEI's off it
should not pose a problem.

Have you contacted the seller to see what they say?

Whilst I can't speak for elseware in the world, in the UK changing a phone's
IMEI is a crime punishable by 5 years imprisonment. Irrespective of what you
do with the old phone.
