How To Track Your Lost Phone Using IMEI Number.

In the previous post, we looked at how you can track your lost phone with the aid of the device manager. We extensively looked at how google is effective in tracking your android device. Also, iOS and windows have their respective tools designed for this purpose.

In this post, we will look at how to track your lost phone using the IMEI number.

The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity Number) of your phone is its unique serial number. It is printed on the back of all mobile devices and can help trace ownership of a phone. It’s a good idea to keep a copy of the IMEI in a safe place. If yours is worn off, dial ‘#06#’ to show it. Alternatively, your Google Dashboard should also have a record of it.

To track an Android phone it needs to have both mobile data and location services turned on. Follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to Settings, Location and toggle it to the on position.
2. Swipe down on the Home screen and tap the cell provider icon to enable mobile data.
3. Visit the Google Dashboard
4. Once logged in, the Dashboard will attempt to contact your phone using the IMEI and should show you a map and an address where the phone is either at, or was last pinged.

Once you have located your phone, the Google Dashboard gives you the option to call, lock or erase it.

If your phone has been stolen, lock it down or wipe it remotely. If the phone is not currently contactable by Google it will perform the tasks as soon as it can.

If you have simply lost your phone somewhere in the building, use the Ring option to call the phone. Then you can trace it by ear.

It's as simple as that!!!! In my next post, you will learn how track your phone using apps. This can also be a preventive method.

Life has taught me so many lessons. No matter how good, humble and honest you are to them that doesn’t mean that they will treat you the same way. I married my husband for almost five years now with no idea that he was cheating on me. I noticed some changes in his character and I decided to confide in a friend who introduced me to a hacker whose name is Henry Clark. This guy did a wonderful and perfect job for me by hacking his phone call log, facebook messenger messages, phone messages, whatsapp, Skype, database and so on.
