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?

    It’s possible that I’m mistaken. I’ve seen it claimed that it still has the IMEI, but that might be inaccurate, and I don’t know exactly where I saw it. I’ve never seen an explicit claim that it does not before now, so I’m not sure who is correct.
