Update on Librem 5 hardware?

Do you think (as a Linux nerd :)) if we would be able to clone - copy the IMEI numbers from old devices to our L5? I’m curious, because that might help have it registered by the network as a certified device, which I desperately need for VoLTE.
Some US carriers won’t let you have it active even when the phone is capable. So, OEM has to go through the lenghty and costly process with them.

That’s done in the modem, not the phone. While we’ll have full control over what the main system does, the modem is still its own thing. None that I know of provide any kind of interface to change the IMEI. Some countries even make changing that illegal, because it gets in the way of their spying on you.
