Trace Phone Contract For Free

Law enforcement can also trace a turned-off phone via its International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, a unique 15-digit code that can identify a device on a mobile network. With this number and the help of your mobile operator, officers can track your phone's exact location, even when it's off.

GPS is not the only way you are being tracked For example, mobile phones typically use triangulate their location based on the number of cell towers they can see and the signal strength from the towers. They might use a similar process to locate themselves against an internal database of known wifi locations.

Turning off your phone can prevent your location from being tracked because the device no longer sends signals to the cell towers. However, your service provider or internet provider will be able to see your last location before the phone was turned off and your device's current location once it's turned back on.

Try a reverse-lookup database. There are many free websites that can provide basic information about a phone number. If the phone number you're tracing is a landline (not a mobile phone) and not private, you may be able to find the caller's name, business name, and/or address on a reverse-lookup site.

A cell phone tracker app typically works by using the GPS location of the target device. The app accesses the GPS data and then provides the user with a real-time location of the target device. The app usually requires the user to the app on both the target device and their own device.

Call trace allows you to dial the code *57 to trace the phone number of a call that was received. This service is used to trace harassing calls which warrant law enforcement or legal action. If you do not intend to take legal action, then an alternative is to use Call Return with *69.
