Why do you need to change that? Is it Osama-bin-laden`s T68?

In the Philippines... nothings impossible! There's several cellphone shops here that can manipulate IMEI even 123456789... etc can work...

Don't count on it, the IMEI is not a variable number, it's burned into the phone, Just as the ESN is on TDMA/CDMA phones.

if there are two imei the same they would both not workthink of your sim card as your house name or number and your fone is the zip or post code. theres your awnswer for changing imie

You can change the IME on nokia phones with the right software and a data cable. So there must be a way to change the IME on the T68.....

just gunna be harder to find!

you can change the IMEI of ANY mobile phone - as long as you have the sw and data cable

the only restriction is that you cant have 2 IMEI's the same on the same network, or in the UK's case....2 same IMEI's on any network

ive had experience in changing t28,t39 IMEI's but have never tried T68i

ill ask around though if it is possible for the model

true

It's always possible, but I'm not sure if anyone has figured out how to do it on t68. In new models it's not so easy like connecting the phone to PC and running software. Sometimes you must solder out one chip, reprogramm it (change IMEI and checksum) and solder it back. Not very easy, but possible.

Just found out that if you do change imei it wont unlock the operator and on prepay to unlock fone you have to use it for three months at least or operator dont recieve there comission and if imei isnt registered to an operator then they wont unlock it.... any ways to get around this welcome

When you find someone who will change IMEI for you and very probably he also knows how to unlock it.
