Preface: I have read the articles "Can apps access hardware identifiers?" and "What does GrapheneOS do about cellular tracking, interception and silent SMS?"
Maybe I'm not just understanding the articles correctly, but can someone please confirm this specific situation:
If I purchased an unlocked phone with cash (no KYC required), do the cellular network (i.e. AT&T, Verizon, etc), NOT the apps you are using, still get my IMEI number from said phone with Grapheneos installed?
Thanks!
