Looking to hook girls SGS2 to Att's Gophone.
I see after talking with cust service their militant about getting imei # before mailing me the sim crd. (They mailed mine 5 months ago without it.....just told em I had an old GSM Razr.....just tried the same with hers). No go on no imei tho. Told em I'd call back with it today.
Question..I was going to just make up a 15 digit #...given its a 'GSM ' they wont know the difference right?
Are there characteristics of these imei #‘s that tell them what kind of phone it is??
Thanks for any insight.

Holy crap, my brain almost gave out trying to decipher what your asking, use complete sentences and spelling. Anyways, I do not think that it would be a good idea to make up an imei, but than again, there's always a chance it'll work.

Not sure how to get an IMEI of a go phone. If you are desperate, you could go buy a $10-$20 gophone from wal-mart or Best Buy, copy the IMEI, then try to return the gophone.

Even better, just go to an AT&T store and get a prepaid SIM. That would be even faster and cheaper.

They'll know your real imei right after you star using it. Just be honest and they have no idea what kinda phone it is by looking at imei.

Have to have the phone to get the card...that's why I'm having it mailed to me.

Yeah a lot of that is typing on the Epic with the damn keyboard 'correcting ' half of what I write ...then of course me sending without editing!

Honest meaning tell them the actual imei off the new SGS2...but just tell them its a Razr.
Yeah...why not?!
Just confirming that the numbers aren't coded somehow to detect dumb vs smart phones.
Thanks
