Jeff, others, > "How to find lost phone which is switched off using IMEI number? > > IMEI number is basically an identity code of the phone [snip] A bit lower it says this : [quote] Can You Track a Phone If It Is Switched Off? Yes, you can track the lost mobile phone if it's lost as well as switched off with the Google Maps. Just by checking out the history of your device timeline, *you can track where your phone was active last time*. [/quote] (bolding mine) Although the first line says "yes", the rest of it says "no" : You can recover *where it was when it was on* using Googles services - but that won't help in any way if the phone is moved after it has been switched off. Bottom line : the answer to the OPs question seems to be "no". Regards, Rudy Wieser
