Chriswazo: If you committed a global crime, yes! You phone would be tracked as long as the battery is there and working. Else if it's just stolen, and the thief switched it off, wait until the phone comes back to life. It would be tracked as long as you have tracking apps installed on the phone. Antivirus app like McAfee, ESET..others like Don't touch my phone, fine my phone by Google LLC, or you could just Google the query "find my phone". 1 Like |

Last point phone went off can be known. While it's off, you can't tell if it has been relocated or not. All network operators know the IMEI of the phone and the phone number that last used it so long as it was used on their network. The only issue is that the network provider may be unwilling to provide this info and law enforcement agency in Nigeria are not willing to obtain this info. |

Chriswazo:Is like you stole someone's phone switched it off and you want to know if the person can track it. You better send the phone back to its owner. There is no hiding place for any thief just do the honorable thing and receive the honour instead of disgrace that will follow you. |

Chriswazo:if you like continue to call names, surely anytime you switch the phone on with the IMEI anywhere in the world it will be located. If like sell it to someone outside the state you residence it will be traced back to you. Just return the phone! Nigerians are full of deceits.... 1 Like |

Joyfulguy: Ok, may you get the same response and attitude from the public when you need help from them, not only that, may they go extra mile to kill you for being innocent and guiltless of the incident. You will forever be a victim of false accusations everywhere you go, Amen. May the same be my portion if your accusations are right, I don't blame you, I understand varieties of sick people plenty for internet Modified; just noticed you are a sick depressed jobless blogger, I opined that before now. Please go and seek help and desist from transferring aggression |

No, its not possible to trace down a lost phone. If your phone will be switched off than location tracer will not detect location of phone. It will only trace the last location of your phone. |
Re: Can A Lost Or Stolen Phone Be Tracked While Switched Off by Chriswazo(m): 6:33pm On Sep 10, 2018 |
GarminTechnical: Ok, what of if it is sold and inserted a new sim card, can I trace it with the IMEI? |
