IMEI locked refers to a situation where a mobile device's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is restricted or blacklisted by a carrier or manufacturer. This typically occurs when a phone is reported stolen or lost, or if there are issues related to unpaid bills or contract violations. As a result, the device can no longer connect to mobile networks, rendering it unusable for making calls or accessing data services. To unlock it, the owner usually needs to resolve the underlying issue with the carrier.

Can you change or spoof the IMEI of an unlocked GSM phone in order to use it with a SIM card that's locked to a different phone?

A SIM is not "locked to a phone" -- the phone is locked to use only SIMs for a specific network. In other words, any SIM will work in any unlocked phone. A locked phone will work with any SIM from the network it is locked to. Changing the IMEI (which is rumoured to be possible, but I am not sure) wouldn't make any difference -- if the phone is unlocked, you can already use any SIM in it.


What is good IMEI mean?

The IMEI is a number used to identify a mobile phone on a network. When a stolen phone is reported, its IMEI is sent around, and it is blocked from connecting to networks worldwide. Therefore, the phone is almost useless, discouraging crime. This phone has a 'bad' IMEI. A 'good' IMEI is not barred from networks, and will work correctly in this sense.
