<p>Tails cannot hide the information that identifies your phone on the local

<ul>
<li><p>Wi-Fi network: the network can see the MAC
address of your phone.</p>
<p>This has security implications that we explain in our [[documentation on

phones have a feature to hide the MAC address of the phone.</p></li>
<li><p>Mobile data network: the network is able to know the identifier of
your SIM card (IMSI) and the serial number of your phone (IMEI).</p></li>
