Law enforcers have access to the backdoor of mobile phones. Although, in many quarters it causes privacy concerns, possibly no more so on Hauwei's and China's interface with the rest of the world. Besides,digital footprints can also help.So,no cybercriminal is really undetected in the real world. |

Fraudsters do get Sims cards from stollen/lost phones. They should be tracked using the last or current location the SIM got it BTS signal from. |

finalboss: Lol! Not true. How do you think the police track kidnappers (for the cases they want to act on). With a court order, the telcos can release the location of the mast that your Sim is communicating with. The rest na trap to pin you 2 Likes |

TOPCRUISE: You think the NIN registration is a waste of time? Have you seen any northerner complain about NIN registration? Do you know how many Nigeriens are coming into Nigeria to register NIN as Nigerians? When Census comes next year and the government throws a curveball that only people with NIN will be counted what will be your response? Or that only people with NIN can vote? Then we in the south will cry blue murder whereas the "uneducated" abokee will throng out in numbers to determine who will rule over us the so-called educated and sophisticated south 3 Likes |

Obascoetubi:Network providers can track the location of every number under their coverage. Using the nearest mast close to you. They have your imei once you put their sim inside your phone. But they can't just give you that info except you are famous or a politician or efcc. My thoughts |

Takeproft: Please note this..... The first 6 digits of debit card tells about the company which has issued the card. It is known as Issuer Identification Number (IIN). And there is nothing to be worried about if you give it out, as these numbers does not reveal anything about you and your bank account. It has only been issued by the card provider and is kept unique. You can also Google it to confirm. 1 Like |

mutvy: Lack of will by government, they create data base with bogus amount without making use of it.the network providers has lots of information even without SIM registration but the government only use it when it affect one of the high and mighty. In western countries nobody does SIM registration but they know every thing about you. |

finalboss: Using phone numbers is actually the best way to track better than IP. Devices without internet access cannot have IP. But phone can be tracked base on the last communication with a base station, I mean the network mast. This is how the car tracking system works. |
