Is it possible to track a Samsung phone with the IMEI number?
Hi, recently I lost my phone and was wondering if T-Mobile can track the location with the IMEI number. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G.
Thanks in advance.
The IMEI isn't usually enough to track a device. If there is no SIM in the device or one from a different carrier. T-Mobile can't track a device that doesn't register on their network. If the device is lost. You can login to your my.t-mobile.com account and blacklist the device. If the device is eventually found, you can always have it removed from the blacklist. Blacklisting a device will prevent it from being used on any US and Canadian carrier.
You should be anle to locate it in the Google find my device settings.
If you can't find the settings do a Google search.
I tried both Google find my device and Samsung SmartFind, sadly both didn't work. Maybe the phone is turned off? I don't know if there is any other method save for IMEI number
If the phone is turned off Tmobile won't be able to track it using the imei. The only thing you can hope for is the last known location of the phone.
