Have you lost your phone? You might just be able to get it back. We bring you the 20 best ways to track your stolen device
Since we are almost always on the go, it's not surprising that all of
us, at some point or another, lose our handsets. More often than not,
they are stolen. But unlike the old days where a stolen phone was lost
for good, now you can track your device and retrieve it from the thief.
KYMI shows you 20 best apps that can help you in tracking and finding your lost or stolen phone:
1. IMEI Number: Every phone comes with a unique International Mobile Equipment Identity number which can come in useful to track it in case of loss or theft.
This number can be accessed by dialing *#06# and it is advisable to
make a note of it as soon as you purchase your handset. In case the
phone gets stolen, file an FIR with the police and give them its
identity number.
Pass on a copy of the FIR and IMEI number to your service provider
who will then be able to track your handset. With its IMEI number, a
device can be traced even if it is being used with another Sim or even
if it is switched off. Once the handset is located, request your service
provider to block it from being used till you are able to get your
hands on it again.
2. IMEI Global Database: Another way that you can
locate your lost phone is by adding its identity number to a free global
database. If the phone is found, it's IMEI number can be used to
contact you. Though this is a bit of a long shot, it is definitely worth
a try.
3. iCloud: The best way for iPhone users to locate
their missing handset is by activating Find My iPhone on it. If you are
an iPhone user and you can't find your phone, log on to your iCloud
account and click on Find My iPhone. If the phone is on, the service
will be able to locate it.
In case of theft, as soon as you locate your handset, lock it from
your account so that the thief can't steal your information and disable
the tracker. You can do this by clicking on the blue information icon on
the black locator bar.
4. Google Latitude: If you don't have a handset that can download fancy apps
but are still worried about losing your handset, Google Latitude is for
you. Google Latitude uses your phone's in-built GPS to locate your
phone. If you can't find your handset, log on to Google Latitude from a
computer and it will immediately give you the whereabouts of your
device.
