Can someone explain how to track my phone with imei number online?

I lost my phone a few days ago and I’m worried someone might be using it, I’ve heard that it’s possible to locate a device using its unique IMEI number, can someone guide me on how to do this or if there are any online services that can help me track it?

Tracking via IMEI online is limited and often unreliable. Contact your network provider and law enforcement for assistance.

Hey falcon69, sorry to hear about your lost phone! Unfortunately, tracking via IMEI online isn’t really a thing for regular users; it’s mostly for law enforcement or your carrier. Your best bet is to contact your carrier to report it and maybe use services like Find My iPhone or Find My Device if you had them set up. Stay safe!
