in it. This can help you to identify your phone and is used to track lost or stolen devices. The IMEI number remains the same even if a thief changes the SIM card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IMEI makes it possible for mobile networks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/how-to-block-phone-using-imei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">blacklist stolen phones<\/a> so that they cannot connect to any network. If your phone is lost then you can track your phone\u2019s last known location using IMEI.

However, you can use Find My Device (Android) or Find My iPhone (Apple) \u200b if location services are enabled. These tools show the last known location on Google Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_find_a_switched-off_phone_using_the_IMEI_number\"><\/span>Can I find a switched-off phone using the IMEI number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IMEI tracking works only while the phone is switched on and if it is connected to a mobile network. Authorities and network providers can gather the last active location of the phone if it is switched off. The phone will be tracked again if the thief inserts a new SIM card and uses the phone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_thieves_change_IMEI_numbers\"><\/span>Can thieves change IMEI numbers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, some criminals indeed use software or tools to modify an IMEI number which makes the stolen phone untraceable. But this is illegal under the Philippine Anti-Cybercrime Law. If caught, offenders may be fined or imprisoned. For this reason, the lost phone must be reported immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_if_I_cant_find_my_IMEI_number\"><\/span>What to do if I can&#8217;t find my IMEI number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have your IMEI number, check your phone box, billing receipt, or your Google\/Apple account. For Android users, log in to Google Find My Device, and for iPhone users, check Apple ID settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrap_Up\"><\/span>Wrap Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Losing a phone is frustrating, but IMEI tracking can help you find lost phones easily. Always record your IMEI number and report a lost phone to NTC, PNP-ACG, and your mobile provider. Online tools to find lost cell phone by IMEI number\u200b can also help, but they are not always accurate. For the best chance of recovery, act quickly and follow the legal process in the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Losing your phone can be stressful.
