nRF9151 - IMEI write needed or not?

[JyriLehtinen]

I tried to find an explicit statement whether a new IMEI needs to be written to nRF9151.

These sources state that nRF91x1 ships without IMEI and it needs to be written:

nRF Cloud IMEI ordering service

nRF Cloud

While this states that nRF9151 has a default IMEI, and does not mention whether it needs to be changed or not:

Write IMEI %IMEIWRITE

Actually, I just noticed this at the nRF Cloud:

So, it looks like I answered my own question, I think the documentation could be updated to avoid confusion.

Additionally, if we ship the devices with the default IMEI, does that mean we should re-write the same IMEI to the modem to prevent it from being changed in the future (though it's unlikely that would happen)?

I just stumbled over the same thing. 

The documentation up to this point and our experience indicates that nRF9151 comes without a pre-programmed IMEI (so far, we had to program every one ourselves). But as the above screen shot indicated (nRF Cloud under "IMEI Management> List IMEIs") seems to say the exact opposite, we just noticed that today.

 Øyvind please confirm which it is.

Thanks!
