Losing your phone is quite painful especially if you have important files and information stored in it.

A few years ago, if your phone gets stolen, it's as good as gone.

But not anymore.

Today, I'm going to take you through the process on how to track your missing device and recover your stolen phone. This tip is only applicable to android phones only.

For whatsoever reason you discover your phone is missing. Follow these steps:

1. Goto google.com/android/find from another device. Or you can download the Find My Device from Playstore.

2. Log into the website. Enter the email address and password for the Android that you want to find.

3. When you log in, you'll find your device's name on the left portion of the screen. Click on it!

This will trigger the process for Google to begin searching for your phone's location.

4. It shouldn't take too long for your android's location to be determined. (At most, 60 seconds with a fast internet connection).

Once your device's location is determined, it will display on the screen.

5. At this point, you've found your device's location.

Yeah, it's that easy.

But before you proceed to recover your device, here's what you should do before anything else.

When you confirm that your phone has been stolen, contact the financial institution that you use for monetary transactions on the stolen device.

Inform your bank about the state of your phone and instruct them to restrict the number from carrying out any transactions till you retrieve your phone or number.

Why should you do this?

Phone thieves can gain access to your BVN by simply dialling a USSD code on your device. With such info combined with your SMS alerts, emails, and banking app, they can launch and can carry out fraudulent activities and make transactions without your authorization.

I hope this post helped.

Having the sim removed is immaterial and it poses no hurdle to the process.

DigitalCora:


Having the sim removed is immaterial and it poses no hurdle to the process.

First of all you need data connection from the stolen phone
Secondly you need location on on the phone
Thirdly you must activated my lost device on the stolen device
So tell me if I pull it the Sim off which means no data connection on the phone and you can't track it without having data connection the only way to track it is using imei no

Am telling you based on experience it wouldn't work if there is no data connection

My Samsung note 4 ,just went lie that .. I have Samsung security .. Find my phone and other Samsung find my mobile.. Two .months old phone. I couldn't track it , the phone was offline going to 2 years now.

Sorry to hear that.

Whosoever got your device had its data wiped almost as soon as it was stolen.

Boiz dey flash phone, erase everything completely. Tracing it is almost impossible.

Lol, if you lost your android phone.. by gone done by gone niyen.. iPhone is better than android in this respect

Bro, even if the phone is switched off you can atill track it and even call the phone and it will ring out. Trust me. Once you enter the Gmail with which you used on your stolen phone, you will see an option to call. You can track the localion and call the phone whether it is switched on or off even without a sim card

So why did you steal the phone in the first place?
To remove the SIM and use it to decorate your room?
