Different IMEI

[MarkKulas]

guys, what does it mean if i got two IMEI on my iphone?

 

[TriJetHero]

there are different id's; IMEI, UDID, Serial number

But there should only be 1 IMEI

im having a problem with my iphone4.. aftr an update to iOS5.1.1, i lost my unlock and i noticed that the IMEI indicated in my Settings was 004999010640000 which is different from the box and to the sim card slot... does my iphone got hacked or something? i find it weird to get such a change in my IMEI...

 

[TriJetHero]

did you buy it new?

 

[MarkKulas]

yah.. dats y noticed that it has a diffrent IMEI in the settings and in the box.. hwever, the IMEI stated in the box and on the sim card slot is the same..

Ok that would mean that the box is not the original box that came with the phone, if they are both different

 

[TriJetHero]

or the box and the sim-tray/body is original, but motherboard is swaped.

that might be common if you are not living in US

your motherboard or something else would be replaced in order for the iphone to be unlocked for non-US countries' SIM cards

Well, that's a load of ….

Unlocks are through an Apple database, it is controlled by IMEI number.
Apple can lock or unlock any iPhone, has nothing to do with hardware.

LMAO 😀
Yeah ok.
In order to unlock an iphone you need to replace the Motherboard?
Where do people come up with stuff like that....
