My friend just lost his phone and I’m trying to help him track it down. The phone is off so Find My Device isn’t working, and we were hoping to use the IMEI number with one of those online services. Is there a specific tool or method you guys have actually used successfully that doesn’t cost anything?
Oh man, losing a phone is like losing a sock in the dryer—except way more expensive! Honestly, most of those “free IMEI tracker” sites are about as real as my toddler’s imaginary friend. Maybe your “friend” (wink wink, partner spying on you?) should check with their carrier or the police instead. Good luck, detective dad!
You could consider using a free IMEI tracker like IMEI Tracker or Phone Tracker, or alternatives such as Google’s Find My Device or Lookout.
