Take heart bro

I think it's a waste of time trying to locate a lost phone in nigeria. Tell me, how do you track a phone that is in pieces, having been dismantled with the component parts being sold piecemeal?

HOW TO TRACE A MISSING OR STOLEN PHONE

If you lose your mobile phone, you can trace it without going to the police.

Most of us always fear that our phones may be stolen at any time.

Each phone carries a unique
IMEI no. i.e. International Mobile Equipment Identity No which can be used to track it anywhere in the world.

This is how it works:

1. Dial *#06# from your mobile.

2. Your mobile phone shows a unique 15 digit.

3. Note down this number at a secure place except in your mobile phone itself as this is the number which will help trace your phone in case of theft.

4. Once stolen, just E-mail this 15 digit IMEI No. to cop@vsnl.net with details as stated below:

Your name:____________________
Address:______________________
Phone model:_________________
Make:_________________________
Last used No.:_________________
E-mail for communication:_____
Missed date:___________________
IMEI No :_______________________

5.Your Mobile will be traced within next 24 hours via a complex system of GPRS and internet, You will find where your hand set is being operated and the new user's No. will be sent to your email.
6. After this, you can inform the Police with the details you now have.

PLEASE SHARE! Thanks

1. Buy two Tecno Phones.
2. Ensure they are fully charged...
3. Go back to the same area where the last one was stolen and dash those two phones to the first two people you meet.
4. Go back to your phone dealer and buy a proper phone.

Some of u are just posting rubbish because u dont understand how it works. Ur d3vice IMEI is unique... as far as d fone is on and is in use, ur service provider have d call logs, messages and location(connected mast) if u havent tri3d tracking before just dont reply.

As far as u are in Nigeria or will still come back to Nigeria u wud be caught.. like SARS isnt in Aba.

Honestly my dear nairalanders,u guys are too funny. My thing the miss, make una profa solution una the post comedies to me? Na wao una too funy

The are many ways you can find your device.....

First if you want to find it your self
- If the phone have your gmail account, then you are safe
- use google Find my device
- it will force the phone to ring for 5 minutes, while the phone is ringing, it will diplay a map at the site on the location of your phone.

Or Submit your phobne IME and Name to police station, i think it cost 10K and they will track it for you. One good thing is if the phone is found, the theif will refund you 10k

or send mail to cop@vsnl.net and they will send you name and location of the new phone user, but am sure of this
details are : Name, Address, Phone Model, Make, Last used number, email for communciation, missin date and IME number.
when your gate the detail, they you can go to police

nice tips,will really come in handy when it comes to finding missing devices.

Though some people won't believe but what's up �here is true. Thieves entered my house and stole my phone. Three months after my friend in Sokoto Police Department came on holiday and I told him how I lost my phone. I didn't even have the IMEI number. All I gave him was my phone number. Surprisingly, two days after he got to Sokoto, he called to give me the new number using my phone now.
I took up the investigation and tracked the guys with the two phones, arrested them myself and took them to the nearest divisional station.

Though over 8 months on, the police have not been able to close the case and I've opted out of the annoying court process.

I have one of my phone back and I'm glad the police now have the capacity to track phones effectively.

please I need to get in touch. Can I still use my phone number after the number has been retrieved and inserted in another phone

Hotzone:
Depending on your location, value of the phone and your commitment to arrest who ever that is involved, u chat me up ASAP!!!!

How do I contact you, my phone was stolen. I need to track it

If you bought the phone newly you can get the IME from the pack but these days IME can be changed quickly soo it might be late m sorry

a guy helped me track mine just last week he is a computer analyst with one of these security outfits in abuja but I had to pay 35k but he delivered within a week .

Trying to send email but not going...can u drop ur digit?
