Many sites claim they can help you find a phone&#8217;s location using its IMEI. However, no site, including imei-tracker.com, can track a phone with the help of the IMEI number. These sites are fake and only want to make money from advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Only the Nigerian police can help you track a phone using the IMEI number.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to write down your phone&#8217;s IMEI number before it gets lost. You can find it in the box your phone came with, or by dialing *#06#.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your phone gets stolen, report the theft to the police and provide them with the IMEI number. The police will contact your phone carrier and give them your phone&#8217;s IMEI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigerian phone carriers like <strong>Airtel Nigeria, MTN, 9Mobile, and Globacom<\/strong> can use GPS
