When I posted (two times) the fact that International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers are NOT a reliable way to ascertain the identity of a user, I was pooh-poohed.
Tell that to the people of Bangladesh.
In that country, the National Equipment Identity Register (NEIR) went live on January 1, and it uncovered some surprising findings.
Turns out that tens of millions of phones in Bangladesh share their IMEIs with other phones. A single example:
“According to data generated after NEIR went live on January 1, a single IMEI, 440015202000, was found to be linked to 1,949,088 devices nationwide.”
So will you now admit that an IMEI is not a reliable way to identify an individual phone?
