    a random UNIQUE IMEI

    How do you guarantee that it’s unique? I think you can’t

    For example most of people have a pile of unused older phones which are NOT IN USE and you could use thoses IMEIs without issues.

    Fair, but how does one know which IMEIs were used by now unused phones?

      IMEIs are unique by design… Any existing device SHOULD have a unique IMEI. So when you use an older device IMEI should work perfectly.
