For anyone worried, IMEI is not overtly sensetive info and is often listed on the outside of the box of new cell phones. I wont go so far as to say that you should pass out your IMEI to strangers on the street, but this should be relatively safe.

Thank in advance

I currently have one PMOS Convergent phone using AT&T prepaid, 2 PMOS Convergent phones running on Pure Talk, and a Manjaro Convergent phone
running Pure Talk,  * Pure Talk is a AT&T MVNO... 

 I have also used a few different MVNO's of T-mobile without any issues.

There are a couple of threads here on the forum discussing carriers and sim cards,  * you may find useful or interesting.

I am located in Southern Arizona, USA.

My first Pine phone, I did the swap of a working sim card into my Brave Heart phone,  * (worked no problem)
But since then I have activated each sim card in the Pine phones.

I tried several times to activate a Verizon sim, but I never had any success with them.
