IMEI, portable router and sms

M_2_Sade

Hi,
I've been using a portable router and a prepaid simcard (changing IMEI of said router before changing SIM)
Im encountering issues receiving SMS to my phone on the control panel. Does someone know any solution (app that is supported by grapheneOS) to forward SMS and calls ?
Cheers

Check jmp.chat if that was your question:

M_2_Sade may I ask why you're carrying around a modem/router and not just putting the SIM straight into your phone? I don't believe there's anything that can achieve what you're looking for (if I'm reading your post correctly)

What im using (Blue-Merle, https://github.com/srlabs/blue-merle) is not whats mentionned there, my AP is randomised and private, mac adresses too. Goes through Mullvad aswell. Not saying its safe or a "good idea" but its different, though the part about IMEI change is interesting to me, i'll look into it.
Thanks for the replies

This is a bad idea and has been discussed throughly on the forum before

There’s no practical way to use a mobile network anonymously, your best bet is to keep your phone on airplane mode and connect to a publicly available wifi through a good VPN like Mullvad

M_2_Sade Do you put a new SIM card everytime you rotate your IMEI? If not you're doing only harm.

With bluemerle the imei change is pointless if you do not rotate sims.
Because there will be correlation between imei and imsi.
For your issue, you can read your SMS in the webadmin page of the Mudi.
Their is no solution for calls. Except a permanent forwars to a VoIP provider you connect to via a VoIP app like Baresip or Linphone for example

I do rotate sim every few weeks when I change the IMEI.
I have an issue getting the full SMS in the webadmin page and was therefore looking for an alternative.
I dont mind not using calls, but ill look into VoIP providers still.
Thanks
