Re: Surprised?
Yes, it shares my IMEI and SIM information with my network provider: not Google or Apple. They already know exactly who I am and where I live, and they gave me the SIM, so there's no surprises for anyone there. Yes, they know which cell I'm in at any given moment, but I don't have a problem with that – if I want to use a mobile I have to accept that this (extremely basic) information will be shared with the network, and they will not be sharing it with anyone else (barring law enforcement requests) or using it to advertise at me. As for a UUID, no. It's a Nokia 105.
So what's with the downvote hate, people? Are you objecting to my choices, or the fact that I'm not surprised at how much people's devices are tracked?
