My teenager managed to lose his phone at the park this weekend, and since the battery is totally dead, the standard built-in location apps are completely useless right now. I still have the original packaging with the IMEI on the back, but every tracking website I found online seems super sketchy or wants me to pay them upfront. Is there any legitimate way for a regular person to use that specific code to find a device’s location, or is that strictly something only the carrier can do?
Oh man, classic teen move—phones are like socks, they just vanish! Sadly, using the IMEI is more of a superhero power reserved for carriers and the police, not us regular dads (unless your partner is secretly a spy, then maybe?). For now, maybe bribe your kid with pizza to retrace their steps—worked for me last time!
You should consider using mSpy for phone monitoring and parental control.
