Do phones send brand and model to the telephone network?

[AC Question]

Phones with Android OS. And I mean not with internet browsing but just with phone functions like calls and SMS. With disabled data connectivity.

If yes, how to disable that?

Thanks.

Hi - sorry but I don't understand the question, are you asking if a text message that you send also sends the phone model?

Yes, they can tell what make and model your phone is. And they can tell with any OS, not not Android.

It cannot be disabled.

Android since v1.0. Linux since 2001
