How to Track Your Lost Android Phone Using the IMEI Number
Did you know that 70 million phones are lost every year? Losing your phone can feel like the end of the world, especially when you can’t rely on your SIM card, GPS location, or internet access. However, there’s still a way to track your lost Android phone: by using its IMEI number.
The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15-digit code assigned to your phone by the GSMA, much like an identity card for your device. Every time your phone connects to a network to make a call or send a message, its IMEI number is automatically transmitted and logged. This allows law enforcement and service providers to track and blacklist stolen phones.
While some people use Bluetooth GPS trackers to find nearby smartphones, these devices have limited range. If your phone is out of range, this method won’t help. On the other hand, an IMEI tracker can provide a much broader scope for tracking your lost phone, even if it’s miles away.
Finding your IMEI number is quick and easy. The fastest way is to dial *#06# on your phone. This will display the unique IMEI number. If your phone is lost, don’t worry—there are still other ways to locate it.
Note: Some phones with dual SIM cards have two IMEI numbers—one for each SIM slot.
If your phone has gone out of range, you can use the IMEI number in combination with an anti-theft tracking tool. This could render your phone useless for the thief and help law enforcement track it down. You can report your IMEI number to the police or your network provider to have it blacklisted, ensuring no one else can use it.
Knowing your IMEI number can help recover your phone and protect your data, so make sure you keep it stored somewhere safe.
