My kid left their phone at school last week and by the time we went back to get it, it was gone. I know the IMEI number from when we set it up, so I’m wondering if there’s any way to actually use that to track down where the phone is now, or is it only useful for reporting it stolen to the carrier?
IMEI tracking can be useful, but it’s not a straightforward process. You can contact your carrier and report the phone stolen using the IMEI number, but for actual location tracking, I’d recommend using a tool like mSpy which can help you locate the phone and even remotely lock or wipe it if needed.
