How to determine the location of the phone

Loss of a mobile phone is a very unpleasant incident that can happen with each. But this is not the only case at which it may be necessary to determine the location of the phone. Thus, you can also find out where at the moment your child or guest is lost in an unfamiliar city. Consider in more detail what methods of determining the location of phones, how they work and, accordingly, in what situations can be useful.

1
Obviously, tracking the accurate coordinates of the device occurs with certain wireless interfaces. Ideally, it GPS.which provides maximum location accuracy, but if the phone does not support the appropriate technology, then it is possible to track it in a cellular module. Mobile operators have a network of radio hazel, each of which has its own geographic coordinates. Thus, having learned how exactly the repeater is connected by the phone at the moment, you can determine the radius or even the sector of its location with different degrees.

2
This can be done with the help of a special service provided by almost all domestic cellular operators. Its essence in the following: SMS sends a request to the subscriber number to search, the specified number comes the appropriate alert, confirming that there is an agreement on the processing of data on the location, after that the data obtained is sent to the mobile number requesting them. Some operators offer this service in the Subscriber's personal account on their sites, it will work perfectly, for example, to search for the current location of your employees or supervise parents for children and will work with any mobile phone with an active SIM card without the need to install additional software. But at the same time it has significant shortcomings:

  • If the density of mobile communication repeaters is small (for example, countryside), the location can be defined in the zone with a radius of up to several tens of kilometers;
  • In case of a loss of the phone, its thefts or if it is turned off, the request for obvious reasons will not be confirmed and, accordingly, the search will not give any results.

3
Similarly, the search for a stolen / lost mobile phone or a surveillance for a specific subscriber at the request of law enforcement agencies is similar. In this case, there is no need to confirm the processing of your location data on the phone, and the phone searches itself in the mobile network can occur both by the subscriber number of the SIM card and on the unique IMEI number of the mobile device. But this method has its own characteristics:

  • If the phone is turned off or disconnecting the SIM card, the search results will be limited to only the zone from which its last activity was recorded;
  • Although the search for IMEI is more efficient due to independence from which SIM card is currently working the phone, but if the phone has been moved by attackers to another region, then its search is very bored, as it requires large technical resources and time.

4
More accurate and fast will be the search for a smartphone with an active GPS. So, for mobile devices running Apple OS and Android. Standard services are available. Find My iPhone and Android Device Manager. respectively. All you need to search is an Internet connection and access to an ICloud or Google account. The main advantages and cons of this method are:

  • If the phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, the search will not give results;
  • If the phone is connected to the Internet, but the geopositioning function is disabled, the search result may be a zone by a radius to several kilometers or no result in general;
  • The phone with active GPS and Internet connections is found within a few seconds with an accuracy of up to 2 meters;
  • These services also allow remotely disable their lost phone and / or clear all personal data on it;
  • In the case of theft of the phone, the attacker can turn it off from an icloud or google account, and this method will not work.

As you can see, the determination of the location of the phone depends on many factors and does not happen just like in spy films but in defined Cases will help learn where is the person you need, or even find a lost mobile phone.
