IMEI and IMEI2 are both used on my iPhone but I never set this up
Apple or TMobile (my provider) have been contacted numerous to no avail and there's never a resolve. Been to each store respectively as well as hours on the phone. Still no resolution.
Here is the way my iPhone is set up in regard to the two IMEIs:
IMEI2: Under settings > general > about > ESIM - there lies the IMEI2 (which is not the same one originally assigned to my iPhone device Serial #).
IMEI: Under settings > Name (my Apple ID + iCloud etc) > scroll down to the device listed (which is my iPhone 12 pro max) > IMEI is same # assigned to my iPhone Serial #.
So essentially, both IMEIs are being utilized - but by whom? It is not set up as Family Share.
This has been happening over and over. I will factory reset the iPhone and ask to NOT transfer anything over from iCloud or from another device (my second device is an iPad without cellular). It seems fine at first. Then I noticed a few hours later it was back to the profile I mentioned about re: the two IMEIs.
It seems my iPhone is hacked or hijacked or cloned or whatever. Who the heck knows.
Apple wears Apple Hat and T-Mobile wears T-Mobile hat. Both will not admit security breaches by pretend users or any other malicious type of activity that will hinder their reputation. What a joke: "Your security is our top priority" >> this is pure and absolute BS to the umph degree. Give me some real security and help me.
