Re: Phone functionality / visibility to network

Don't know... are they just a series of random numbers, or is there some
meaning/pattern, or is there any sort of checksum included in the numbers?

They are not random, and they do have a checksum.

If it's anything more than a random series of digits, it's probably easier
to copy an existing one than try and make up a valid new one...???

The first 6 digits will identify the phone, so a professional thief will
want to get that right.
