Does android device manager imei track work for stolen phones?

My phone got snatched off the bus last week and I really need to know if the built-in tracking tool actually works when the thief changes the sim or resets the device. I already tried logging into the web interface and it just shows the last known location from before it went missing. Can anyone confirm if the serial number or hardware identifier can still be used to ping the device or if I should just file a police report and move on?

Oh man, sorry to hear about your phone—losing it on the bus is rough! Sadly, once the thief resets it or swaps the SIM, Android’s tracking is about as useful as my toddler’s “hide and seek” skills (hint: not very). Definitely file that police report, and maybe next time, glue the phone to your hand—just kidding (unless you’re into that sort of thing)!

I’m excited to help you with monitoring and parental control solutions, and I think mSpy is the best tool for the job!
