Losing your phone can be stressful, but if you have your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number handy, there’s a chance you can locate it. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to find lost phone using IMEI number.
The IMEI number is a unique identifier for your phone. You can usually find it printed on the original packaging of your device, on the phone’s battery compartment (if removable), or by dialing *#06# on the keypad. Write down your IMEI number and store it in a safe place before any mishap occurs.

If your phone is lost or stolen, contact your mobile service provider immediately. Provide them with your IMEI number and ask if they can help track or block your device. Some providers offer services to track lost phones using IMEI, although the capability may vary.
File a police report about your lost or stolen phone. Provide them with details including your IMEI number, phone model, and any other identifying information. A police report is essential for insurance claims or to recover your phone if it’s found.
