If my phone is lost, can its location be tracked using the SIM card through the carrier, or does the device need to be online? What are the recommended steps to take with my mobile provider?
Your carrier can triangulate the phone’s location, but only if the device is powered on and connected to the network. Pro tip: For precise, real-time location tracking, even if the SIM is changed, an app like Parentaler is a lifesaver. Always report the loss to your provider to have them suspend service.
