Genuine phone number tracking website?

1. Log in to her account on a computer, and use either Google or iCloud.

2. There’s nothing that a private citizen can use in your case.

3. We tracked my lost phone using Google, fortunately it was powered on . Not sure if it helped that I own a pixel ( Google phone) . It didn’t track the number itself, just the GPS on the phone

4. there is not. the only option you have is using things like find my iphone or the google equivalent, there is no service that can location track a device by either its phone number or IMEI.

   not that these things are totally impossible for the likes of the police but even then its a bigger task than you may imagine and doesnt offer pinpoint location so the short answer here is no im afraid

5. If the general public could track someone’s phone just by knowing their number, well, I’ll let you figure out why that is a horrible fucking idea.

6. They aren’t legit. They don’t exist. I lost a friend because of this lie. The effort for the authorities to track a phone takes about three weeks of paperwork. Trust me I know.

7. If it’s off then nobody will track it because it won’t be polling towers every so often. Or connecting to wifi.

   Otherwise with find my phone, etc., (Apple or Android) you can track it through the ID more effectively.

8. Tracking via phone number isn’t something that is available to the public for a number of reasons I’m sure you can probably guess. If it were as easy as paying a few quid to pump a phone number into a website and find out where someone is, stalkers would have a field day.

   The police can leverage methods to track using phone numbers but this is only relative to the mast in which the phone is connected to, even they don’t get pin-point accuracy. In high-density areas there could be 1000s of devices polling the same tower, all within the same locale. They demonstrate this method a lot if you’ve ever watched “Hunted”.

   To get a pin point accurate location of a device would require the use of GPS, which a phone number does not utilise. Your only hope here would be if the phone is registered/you have access to something like ‘Find My Device’. Both Google and iOS have their own offering of this.

   However if the device is off it will only show the last known location which may or may not be useful.
