There you go, my phone was stolen. I've done all the necessary procedures with the police, they blocked my IMEI, so normally the thief can no longer use it. I just want to know if this blockage is permanent? Or if not, how long does it last? And how to make it permanently blocked?
Thank you for your answers.

    Hello
    The block would normally be permanent unless I'm mistaken or if we change the IMEI or if the phone goes abroad.

    Is it possible to change the IMEI? I was told that it was impossible because it's the phone's unique identity... I don't want the thief to be able to reuse it.

      At the moment, yes it may be possible, but you need to know what you're doing and with computers and the little budding geniuses, we have cause for concern. That said, it's not for everyone to do. Indeed, it's the identity of the phone, the IMEI.

      I hope he won't make it
      Can we locate the phone with the IMEI?

      I don't know anything right now. And yes, I hope he won't succeed.
