Answer 2

PhoneDetective is a caller ID application that covers landline numbers, cell phones, and business lines in the United States. Check here ( http://reversephones.info ) The way it works is simple: Step 1: Enter a phone number into the search box (you can begin a search here) Step 2: Preview your results (basic information about the number, such as city/state) Step 3: Pay to view full results (name and address of owner, if available). There are many reasons why you might want to conduct a reverse phone search: 1- Find out the source of a harassing ("prank") caller. 2- Research a number that appeared on your phone bill. 3- Locate an old friend from high school or college 4- Research "missed calls" on your caller ID that you don't recognize. 5- Verify an address. -6 And more...

Answer 3

There are two ways to track a stolen phone:
Telling a service provider your IMEI and that your phone was stolen.
Also there is the other way : so providers have a GPS feature in which you give them the phone number and they track it and send you a map with the current position of the stolen phone

Answer 4

In the UK it is possible to blacklist an IMEI, so that it would not be able to be used. You can just call your carrier. If you are in the US like me however, you are SOL. The phones IMEI is only recorded on your account at the point of sale, and is never transmitted over the ntowork to the carrier. Therefore the notwork is not aware of what phone you are using at any given point. Only what SIM card is connected and registered on the network.

Answer 5

In a nutshell - no, unless youre Jack Bauer.

There are FAR too many handsets in the UK, let alone the world, for all to have a 'tracking' facility.

If youre phone is on a contract, when you report it lost/stolen the handset is blocked and the SIM rendered useless - thats why you get sent a replacement with the same number.

If the handset is unblocked by the swamplife who has nicked it, its sold as that - a nicked handset - and its new owner puts their own SIM card in it and away you go.

Rumour has it that a lot of the 'handlers' of nicked phones sell them onto dealers who ship consignments of them to Africa, Kenya etc, where they are in limited supplies and can reach a good price.

Easy for me to say as Im always losing them, but just be careful.

Answer 6

I think so. I've had 2 stolen phones and the first time they didn't mention this, but when I reported the next one stolen they did say they would do something to the IMEI so people couldn't use the phone at all. I can't quite remember the details, but I think this was the gist of it.

Answer 7

One thing you can do is track the numbers they call on your internet account. You can probably call these people and find out who it is...I mean he/she will probably call only people they know..and the more calls to a certain number means that they are probably close to whoever is at that number. You could actually really mess with the person if you left your phone on for a few weeks and printed out all the calls.

However, I agree that shopping for a new phone will probably make you feel a l lot better!

-good luck
