Nope, since your internet traffic is a way better richer fingerprint of you than the numbers you could call (or don't, according to your planned use) Logging in on a single forum or webmail-service or polling your mail via POP3 or registering with a VoIP registrar already suffices. Heck even a more or less arbitrary cookie left in your browser suffices. And as already explained a IMEI popping up out of nowhere is *always* highly suspicious and will usually already suffice to put you into the group of those 20 subjects that currently frequently use fake changing IMEIs. For the rest a rough geolocation will do to identify you as subject #8 of those 20 subjects. It's like you running the streets wearing a gorilla mask, and then changing your gorilla mask to a pig mask and then 100m further you swap that for a donkey mask. *Everybody* will look at you and there's not much doubt who you are, despite you never showing your real face. OOOH, I almost forgot: tell me which internet service you may use without a SIM you paid for. They will probably die from laughing about you when you constantly swap your IMEI without constantly swapping your SIM *and your geolocation* exactly same time. /j -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments (alas the above page got scrapped due to resignation(!!), so here some supplementary links:) http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil.shtml http://www.nonhtmlmail.org/campaign.html http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil_still.shtml http://www.gerstbach.at/2004/ascii/ (German)
