There are several tricky ways to find your phone, if you have lost it and it is turned off, via satellite for free. Special services for finding a device are available on the Internet. They are also offered by the largest Russian mobile operators and government organizations.
Before attempting to find a phone, if you have lost it and it is turned off, via satellite for free, you should understand how exactly the process of searching for devices occurs. For this, not satellite, but cellular technologies are usually used. You can track your phone using a GSM cellular signal that comes from the nearest mobile tower. Most of the technologies used by both special services and private companies are based on this method. Therefore, it is possible to calculate only the approximate coordinates of a mobile phone, depending on how strong the GSM signal is in a given area.
A separate difficulty in finding a mobile phone is that it is off. There are only two ways to try to find it for free in this situation. If you know the IMEI number of the missing phone, you can tell it to law enforcement officials or the cellular company you subscribe to. As soon as someone starts using the device, sooner or later information about him will "light up" on the Internet, or the phone will be "detected" by the services you contacted.
It is much easier to find a lost phone if it is turned on. If you do not want to contact the police or the office of the cellular company for this, or these services could not help solve the problem, you can contact the mobile operator directly. In this case, the search will be carried out not free of charge, but for a small symbolic fee. It is worth noting that all operators require that the owner of the number that someone is trying to find confirms this operation with their consent. You can avoid this if you try to use the service not using commands, but by dialing the operator's service number (0890 - MTS, 0500 - Megafon and 0611 - Beeline).
Tell the operator that you want to find the phone, but it is turned off and could be in the possession of an unwanted person. As soon as you confirm your personal data, the connection will be terminated. If the contact center employees can detect the mobile device by their own methods, they will call back and inform about it.
You can post an ad about the loss of a mobile phone on social networks and on specialized sites, whose users can provide the necessary assistance. At the same time, be careful, avoid suspicious sites and scammers on the Internet who may offer to find a phone by satellite for free or for a certain amount. Thus, they can get illegal access to your mobile or bank account.
