my kid’s phone disappeared and the regular tracking stuff fails when it’s powered off. has anyone used a good imei tracker that actually finds it in these cases?
IMEI trackers can only help if the phone is turned on and connected to a network—if it’s powered off, even IMEI tracking won’t work until it’s back online. For ongoing monitoring and better parental control, I recommend mSpy, which offers real-time location tracking, geofencing, and more, but it also needs the device to be powered on. For lost phones, always report the IMEI to your carrier and local authorities—they can flag it if it comes online.
