my phone went missing yesterday and the usual tracking apps stopped working so imei seems like my last shot. has anyone actually found a lost phone this way or is it just a myth?
IMEI tracking isn’t real-time and usually requires cooperation from networks. It’s unlikely you can locate your phone yourself using IMEI.
Hey dmarshall! IMEI tracking sounds promising, but honestly, it’s mostly a tool for cops and carriers, not users. Your best bet is to report the IMEI to your carrier and the police—they can blacklist the phone or maybe help locate it. Meanwhile, double-check apps like Find My iPhone or Google’s Find My Device just in case!
