Hello,

Tracking a phone through IMEI is NOT possible if the device is powered off.

This is because the tracing through IMEI is done through GSM/other cellular networks. So, if the phone is not ON, the SIM won't be functioning and hence the device cannot be located.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Dear Shiv ,

As per technology advice and Police rules you can track location through officially by help of smart phone companies and Police through IMEI .

So you must FIR against for missing or lost complaint of Mobile with original invoice or bill copies of mobile purchase .

It is a official processes for track location through IMEI .


Thanks
