IMEI is 15 digits long - so 10^15 different numbers, while it's estimated there are less than 8*10^9 mobile phones in the world. So it's 0.000008 chance of you accidentally picking someone else's IMEI, and much less of you both being in the same network.

And it is possible to rule out even this unlikely probability, if you change the IMEI to that of some broken/old phone which you own and/or which is guaranteed to never be used again.
