Pinephone IMEI changing info: do you think its OK for a Wiki?

I don't think that is 15 random numbers

Indeed, the first 8 numbers seem to be a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Allocation_Code . What's interesting there are a few lines in this table like "typical fake TAC codes, usually in software damaged phones".

So it's true there are less random numbers. Although, even if we'd be changing IMEI to our old phone ones out of precaution, this will still give us a small privacy benefit: our network provider, and those getting the information from it, wouldn't know that we've switched to a PinePhone
