Is it a good enough solution for IMEI tracking to use an alternative device to provide a hotspot connection?

This approach appears to protect any new device that hasn’t inserted a SIM card from being identified.

But I’m not sure how much information is carried to the second device by using hotspot.

Is this a good solution so far? Should I try to spoof IMEI?

    You should be clear about what your threat model is. What are you willing to accept? What are you willing to trade?

    Using a phone only as a Wi-Fi device is probably going to reduce the information surface you exposed to the world.

      thanks a lot

      May I also ask how much information is carried to the second device by using hotspot? By this I meant the phone with IMEI will be able to know my device name, but what else? Will the phone with IMEI also be able to know the device model?
