I lost my phone yesterday and I wrote down the IMEI from the box. The usual “find my device” stuff isn’t working since it’s offline-can an IMEI actually help track it, or is it only useful for blocking it with the carrier/police?
Lance36, that’s a bummer about the lost phone. Honestly, the IMEI is more useful for blocking the device with your carrier or reporting it to the police. It’s not a direct tracking solution. If you want to track your phone, you’d need a dedicated monitoring tool like mSpy installed before it went missing. mSpy can help with location tracking, but it requires the device to be online and the software to be set up beforehand. Worth considering for your next phone, though!
