Can You Track a Mobile Number & It’s Location?
If you are thinking that you can easily get Name, Address Details, Location Details and other Private Information of any person just by entering his/her Mobile Number over various sites on the Internet, than you are absolutely WRONG!
It’s absolutely impossible for a common man to Trace/Track any Mobile Number and it’s current location.
Some months back I wrote a Post: Trace Mobile Number Location and Missed Calls by which you can get ONLY City and State Details of a particular Mobile Number. The various Web Services mentioned in this Post gives you City/State Information based on First 4/5 Digits of a Mobile Number. E.g.: +91-99815xxxxx – This series belongs to Madhya Pradesh, India
And Thanks to this post, I was getting atleast 4-5 Emails per week where the sender was asking to:
- Track the Current Location of his/her Stolen/Lost Mobile Phone
- Give Address Details of some other person
In each and every Email either the Mobile Number or IMEI Code was attached!
In this post I am going to clear some points Again:
For Stolen/Lost Mobile Phone
If your Mobile Phone is Lost/Stolen, than immediately Contact Customer Care Number of your Mobile Operator and ask them What to do in this case? They might ask you to lodge an FIR Complaint at the Nearest Police Station and ask for your Mobile Phone IMEI Number sooner or later. If you don’t know How to Find IMEI Number of your Mobile Number, than make use of THIS PAGE for detailed instructions.
Do follow the instructions what Customer Care representative gives you.
For getting Name, Address and other Confidential Details of some other Person
This is NOT possible under any case!
No Mobile Operator gives such details to any Internet Website/Common Man as it’s a complete breach of Privacy. Only Government Officials/Agencies can extract such information from Telecom Operators if a particular Number is being used for Illegal Activities, Threatening, SMS Scam, Special Cases etc.
So Remember, try not to disclose your/other person’s IMEI Number as well as Mobile Number over Publicly accessible Websites, Blogs, Forums, Email etc.
