Hey everyone! I am new here with a question.
I moved to Turkey about 4 months ago and here in turkey you need to pay the government a pretty hefty fee to use your phone if it was not bought in Turkey. As soon as I inserted a Turkish SIM i my phone I was sent a text message saying I have 120 days to use my phone and then they will block my IMEI until I pay the fee.
My phone is a... running latest updates non-rooted.
Is there a way I can change my phone's IMEI while I am here and then revert to original one when I move out again? I have the single sim version. Willing to root if needed.
Tips and tricks appreciated!

Hello everyone,
Recently my home country issue a statement that all devices coming from outside of the country will be blocked over the network.
and they are requesting half the price of the mobile phone so they will unblock it.
I have some old phone and I want to swipe their IMEI's with the new phones I have, as the old ones are working before that statement issued and they can continue to work with no problems.
Please i need the steps to change IMEI number for {Mod edit}.

Hi,
can anybody tell me which mobiles are the easiest to root and the IMEI number is possible to change after root? I will be in a country for 3-6 months from my internship and to use an imported mobile the tax is almost 325$ on a 500$ mobile. So, I was thinking if I could change the IMEI to some low-cost mobile and use for this time period.
Thanks in advance

Changing IMEI for whatever reason is illegal in atleast some countries. XDA being an international forum can not afford to get into legal hassles due to users seeking advice on changing IMEI or other users providing help in that. Hence we have been closing such threads consistently and your thread has been closed for that reason. Please also read Rule 9:
