Hi,
My iPhone was stolen a few weeks back. I was able to track it down using http://www.me.com/find but somehow my device was removed so it is not registered to the system anymore. The police have been informed but they haven’t done anything about it so, here I am trying my hardest to track it down. Is there any possile way of tracking an iPhone using the IMEI Number and / or the Serial Number that is free ?
Regards . .
Hi,
I use TracknShield by Klomtec. Its only supports blackberry, Android & symbians. I really like it. it Locates, Lock&Alarm,Takes Thief’s Picture & your can make your phone call you. Also sends thief’s new sim number whenever its been changed.
hi,

You need to decide if you want free software or commercial. Then you need to visit website of the software and check if it support your operating system. When you find suitable software for your phone then you can download it from software official website.

Provide a link to see if we can download the software.
please tell me how can i install tracking software for my nokia c3 help…..
It is not possible to install anti-theft software to all phones. Software is usualy made for specific operating system and for the same reason you need to check if it supports your operating system.
As I can see, Nokia C3 do not have any known operating system for such software so it could be that you can not install it on this phone.

how to locate a phone which is nither iPhone nor android?
You need to install the tracking software which supports your operating system. If you don’t have any known operating system then you will need to find some other way. We are not aware of such software for phones that do not have Symbian, Android, IOS or Windows operating system.
I lost HTC HD2 phone. I had installed f-secure phone. It had Window 6.5 operating System. I did not get any sms alert, nor could I track the device. It was flicked it from my pocket in Bangalore. I think if the device is connected to PC and a complete Operating system is reiinstalled, none of these(so called anti-theft) will work. Any inputs?
Maybe nobody found your mobile, or maybe found it but not use it as it could be damaged or empty battery or anything else. No solution for such case from our side.

Software should support your operating system and installed on your phone before it is lost or stolen. Also, software must be configured properly and new SIM card should have access to GPRS/UMTS network and funds on SIM card or Postpaid account to be able to communicate with you (by SMS, email, …). You should check which software you have and which application will suite your needs.
Please add “Prey Project” to the list.
Still the very important question is there, what if I have the IMEI and my mobile got stolen, what I can do?
Thanks,
I HAVE NOKIA C – 7 . WHICH SOFTWARE I HAVE BEEN DOWNLOAD FOR ANTI THEFT AND TRACKING MY MOBILE IN FUTURE . PLEASE SUGGEST ME .

Can you track your spouse phone without him/her knowing about it and if you can with what or how?
We found some anti-theft apps which have this functionality but you should check which one supports operating system where app should be installed. Check the list of apps here http://imeidetective.com/english/pages/Anti_theft_applications and I am sure that you will find one.

I Lost my MICROMAX A45 phone last week…..i filed a police complaint soon after…..i also hav the IMEI no of my phone….so do u think there is any possibility of finding ma phone via the IMEI no?

There is no way to find it easily, you can only do whatever you can and hope that somebody will return your phone. Try submiting also to online databases. No other ways are possible easily
