Often, a phone is stolen by hackers or is simply lost, and at the same time people do not even suspect that there is a possibility of finding a phone for free by IMEI - a unique number that each mobile device has.
Instructions
Step 1
You can find a phone by IMEI only if you know this 15-digit code. Of course, it is better to write it down in advance or even remember it. Usually, the number is indicated on the packaging for the mobile phone, and can also be indicated on the back of the back cover. In addition, you can find out the IMEI by typing * # 06 # on the phone keypad.
Step 2
To find your phone by IMEI for free, you can file a police report if your device has been stolen. Only law enforcement officers have special software and hardware. In addition, you can contact the salons or offices of mobile communication, for example, if you simply lost your cell phone. It is enough to provide the IMEI number of your device, and the company's employees will check what calls and other operations were made through the phone in the recent period. This will help you figure out the person who may have your device at the moment.
Step 3
If you do not remember IMEI, you can contact the employees of mobile offices with a request to check the latest transactions on your SIM card. There is a possibility that the person who takes possession of the phone will use it without changing the SIM card, and this will help to find out his identity.
Step 4
You can find a phone by IMEI for free using the Internet. Use search engines to find sites that have blacklisted stolen phones. Some of the new owners of used devices manage to find out that the phone is stolen, so they post its IMEI on the network. After searching for your IMEI, you can try to find out about its fate.
