Is it _possible_ to locate a lost mobile (the gadget), given the number alone.
I believe there is a certain IMEI number, but I do not have it noted anywhere.
This was a simple simple 2G phone (in backward India).
Can a mobile operator, look back on call records and get this IMEI and thus help track it ? If you can point me to a book or site which deals with this (data packet exchange) I can try and read up. Educative too. :-)
Any suggestions welcome. I just would like to be armed with info before I approach the network operators/cops for assistance.
I've been told to "let it go" as it was a lost cost mobile.
A cop I met said, "Sir we will try our best, if not we will give you any other similar phone that we 'capture' ". I ran away from him.
Thanks.
