I have N79 Nokia and i have hacked it to run any app i want, for doing that i had to give my IMEI number on net on a Chinese website. i have heard that its not safe to do that, is it true?

well the imei number is unique to your phone so personally I think you were a bit silly to give it out, with that number they could access your gps location or even block your phone so be careful what info you give out.

hi! i think there is nothing wrong, because if your phone is not connected to the internet, there is no chance to be hacked from someone. so don't worry about it
