tacking lost phone

KGblake — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 21:24:37 GMT

Hi, has anyone been able to find a lost phone with public mobility, do you know if they can see last location before it died using the IMIE number or cell number ?

Thanks

@KGblake I'm guessing you did not have "find my phone" turned on?

@KGblake Does your find my phone feature not tell you where the phone was last recorded? Unless someone moved it after it died wouldn't that help?

@KGblake If there is a google account tied to the phone it should tell you the last known location:

@KGblake If you haven't already done so call the number hoping someone will answer. Then, just to be safe, login to the account and suspend service with the Lost Phone/SIM function.

@KGblake Further to my post, I just searched for my phone and as you can see it was last seen 3 days ago.....
