I lost my phone! It happened two weeks ago and I was trying to find it using all the ways of phone tracking available to mankind and well, now I’m an expert on tracking lost mobile phones. And no, I am yet to find any trace of my lost phone.
Anyway, since no one cares of lost Nokia phones with their last decade Symbian OS, I am so sorry that I can’t help you previous Nokia owners. But, I definitely can help Android users (Because I was one) and iOS users (Because everyone else who isn’t using Android is an iOS user).

Whether it’s an iPhone or an Android, the first step is to actually tighten the security on your phone. I did this on Android by installing that ‘draw pattern to unlock’ things (and failed by not bothering to install a phone tracking app such as… well the Android market is flooded with all kinds of Android tracking apps, close your eyes, pick one and READ THE REVIEWS before you install it!). For iPhone users, there are apps such as Find My iPhone, Mobile Spy and iHound. What you have to do is to simply install one of these and track the location of your phone via GPS. In addition, you can lock the phone, wipe all important data and make your phone perform some crazy antics until you get your hands on it.

For android users who, like moi, have failed to install a tracking app before hand, there is an application called Plan B. This is literally the plan B if you misplaced your phone. All you have to do is to make sure that you send a message with the text “Locate” to your phone and it will start the magic.

As for hopeless ones like me, there is the IEMI tracking method to rely on. This means police. And believe me I went there and I don’t’ want to talk about it. Ever. Anyway, this site, track IEMI is great to report your stolen mobile in case someone wishes to check if they have come across a stolen one (this works for all you Symbian users too. So you can thank me later Ex-Nokia parents!)
