I have recently purchased a Samsung i9000 (Galaxy S), also known as the Vibrant on the T-Mobile network. I was curious on how, if possible, I could change the IMEI number on the phone.

My mobile provider checks IMEI numbers against their database for data plan service. If the IMEI registers as a smartphone, the customer is required to pay outrageous data service charges. But if not, you could save a lot of $$$.

I would appreciate somebody's advice on how I could change my IMEI number on this phone. Thanks in advance.
