How to Track a Stolen Cell Phone

Track a Stolen Cell Phone

Cell phones are very desirable pieces of technology, especially when they are popular models. They are costly, compact and easily lost or stolen. Be prepared and load your cell phone with the appropriate software beforehand, so you can track and retrieve the cell phone if it's stolen.

Tips & Warnings

• The software notifies you when someone changes out the cell phone's SIM card. It lets you track the cell phone when it identifies a location. The software is also undetectable to thieves. There is no way to tell that it is installed on the phone.
• Notify your cell phone carrier if the phone is lost or stolen. This is especially important if you do not have tracking software installed on the phone. Your carrier can track a stolen cell phone with GPS technology if it is being used with your current SIM card.
