IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique identification number assigned to each mobile phone. It can be used to track a lost or stolen phone if you have the IMEI number. Here are the steps you can take to track a lost mobile with IMEI number:

1. Report the loss or theft of your mobile phone to the police as soon as possible. Provide them with your phone’s IMEI number and other relevant details. This will create an official record of the loss or theft.

2. Contact your mobile service provider and inform them of the loss or theft. They may be able to track your phone’s location using the IMEI number.

3. You can also try using various online tools and apps that can help track your lost or stolen phone using the IMEI number. Some popular options include IMEI Tracker, Find My Device, and IMEI Detective.

4. Another option is to contact the manufacturer of your phone and ask if they can help track the device using the IMEI number. Some manufacturers offer such services.

It’s important to note that tracking a lost or stolen phone using the IMEI number is not always successful. The phone may have been turned off, the SIM card may have been removed, or the phone may have been reset to factory settings, which erases all data including the IMEI number. However, we will suggest you read the complete article on how to track a stolen TECNO or Infinix phone on Carcare website.

Formatting or resetting a mobile phone does not delete or erase the IMEI of such a device.
