There are lots and lots of laws, though, that are either unenforceable because they're badly written or just not enforced. The sibling comment pointing out the part you left out is on point, and I would be surprised if any sort of prosecution would ever happen. I'm paying my phone bill and I want to change my IMEI, so what? I'm not defrauding anyone. I am inclined to believe two things:
1) Nobody would ever bother me about this, and
2) Courts would agree with me if push came to shove
