USE OF GLO BLACKBERRY SUBSCRIPTION ON ANDROID PHONES

The simple magic of changing the IMEI number of Android Phones

Although the phenomenon of tweaking the International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of android phones is no longer new, I wish to present the step by step approach for the benefit of a few that are yet to be familiar with the process, and also for reference purpose to many. As many Android users that are highly inquisitive to gain cheaper internet data bundle, the act of changing IMEI number has been quite rewarding. For instance, changing the IMEI number of many Android phones to that of a BlackBerry has given us the opportunity to use BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) on Glo Network. Recall that BIS is as cheap as N1000 for 3GB of data or even more. So permit me to remind you of the tweaking process:

1. Download, install and run Mobile Uncle Tools app

2. Click on Engineer Mode

3. Click on Engineer Mode (MTK)

4. Slide to Connectivity and click on CDS Information

5. Click on Radio Information

6. Select the slot you wish to change – either Phone 1 or Phone 2 (that’s SIM 1 or SIM 2)

7. Click on the box with AT+ and type, say, the letter E

8. from the dropdown that appear:

 AT+EGMR=1,7,”” – which is for Phone 1

 AT+EGMR=1,10,”” – which is for Phone 2

So select the desired SIM and move the cursor in between the inverted commas. Note that this overwrites whatever selection you have made in step 6 above.

9. Type in the newly generated IMEI of the particular phone you wish to change to e.g. AT+EGMR=1,7,”xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” (I will give tips on how to generate IMEI later)

10. After keying in the number, click on SEND AT COMMAND; and if successful, the message would be “AT Command is mSent”

11. If instead a failure message, add a single space between T and +, and resend. If still not successful, try a different IMEI number.

NOTE:

• It is not advisable to use same IMEI for more than one device, although it will not even be able to send in most cases.
• Ensure you copied out the original IMEI of your device should you require to revert in future.
• There are applications that could help you generate IMEI numbers, particularly BlackBerry numbers 
• To check the IMEI of any phone, simply press *#06#
