On the system none, yeah. But if you pick an IMEI that’s also used by an other phone, that is what can cause trouble, as I know. It’s the same as when multiple devices have the same MAC or IP address on the same network.
That’s because it is not random. The DHCP server keeps track of the addresses it has assigned to someone, and will never tell the next new client to use an IP it has already assigned someone.
But if you set your IP statically and pick an IP that is used, or if you run multiple DHCP severs for the same network without coordination, then problems will come.
Yes you are correct!
But in our discussion it was implied/assumed a random UNIQUE IMEI or MAC address.
For example most of people have a pile of unused older phones which are NOT IN USE and you could use thoses IMEIs without issues.
