How to find about
mobile number caller information? Received a missed call or a
prank call? Wondering how to track mobile number location? Use
the Trace mobile number functionality above to find the mobile number
location in India.
Using this service one can know the exact
location and network provider of the mobile number being
tracked. Indian mobile number used to start with 9 but in last
few years due to all numbers starting with 9 being used up
cell numbers starting with 7 and 8 as their first digit have
also been introduced. In case you have twelve digit number
starting with 91 or a eleven digit number starting with 0 –
followed by ten digits starting with 7, 8 or 9 – kindly remove
the 0 or 91 from the number and enter the remaining ten digit
mobile phone number to find about its location and owner.
Knowing the precise current location of cell phone using just the
mobile number is not possible though this site as of now. It
shows the area/city/town where the SIM card for the number was
issued and the cellular network service provider it was issued
to. Ever since inception, more than six years back, the site
is free for non-commercial usage. The mobile number database
with owner details is updated twice monthly.
The number tracker
works for all cellular network service providers in Indian and for all
locations in India. The mobile location on map is approximate
and not precise. It shows the service region of the mobile number and not the real time location. Slight variation might be there in the
information showed for the mobile number and the actual location
details of the mobile. Although at times, both can be same. Due to privacy and security reason the
actual real time location of mobile is not shared in public
domain and a formal complain with Police and phone service
operator is required for the same. In case of metro cities (Kolkata,
New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad) and other major
cities (like- state capitals and major towns) there is often a
separate cyber crime division which looks into these issues and
resolves them much faster. There is also a special division at
all telecom service providers that looks after such complain
resolutions and legal obligations to disclose data to Police and
law enforcement for speedy resolution of the problem and
identification of the suspect.
There are many area
codes for locations in India which start with eight or seven,
this gives an impression of the number being a mobile one while
in actual it is a fixed phone number. The six or seven digit
fixed phone number along with three or four digit area code
gives an impression of ten digit mobile number in such cases. In
case mobile tracker does not show information for some mobile
numbers starting with seven or eight, it is recommended to search
for the first three and four digits of such cell numbers in the
area code tracer service. Moreover, in some cases the numbers
might be masked and full number of the caller might not be
shown. Such calls are generally placed from satellite phones or
from international numbers. These types of calls are much harder
to trace and find about the caller details. In such cases,
specially in case of abuse, proper legal guidance must be taken
to
track down the caller. A formal written complain to your mobile
service provider ( mentioning the date and time of the call
along with the number displayed) is a must to get more information about the
number. It is always a good idea to keep a xerox copy of
the complain along with a proper signed receiving acknowledgment
of the complain letter. It is of prime importance in case of
online, credit card and bank frauds which are on the rise due to online
shopping and other activities. In case the mobile device was
compromised due to virus or trojan - it must be mentioned in the
written complain.
It is possible for
cellular service providers to identify each device uniquely using
their telephony service with the help of the
IMEI number. In case a stolen mobile is used, it can be
identified by the IMEI number and its location can be found.
Time is of paramount importance to locate the stolen phone and
as time passes by it gets more difficult to find the address of
the device and recover it. It is always advisable to note
down the mobile IMEI number and the sim number (printed on the
sim card) on paper and keep it in a safe place so that the
same can be retrieved easily and fast in case of a mishappening
with the mobile. The IMEI number can also be found on the box of
the mobile phone and in some cases on the invoice of the device.
In case of theft, IMEI number can help find the location of the
mobile and if need be render the device useless. While buying a
second hand phone one should always get a bill for the same
with the IMEI number of the device on it. With the IMEI number
it is also possible to identify the make and model of the
device. There are many online directories which keep a record of
IMEI numbers of lost and stolen mobile phones. It is always a
good idea to search for the IMEI number of the second hand
mobile on such directories before buying to ascertain that the
second hand mobile device is not stolen.
With falling prices
affordability is no longer an issue with smart phones and people
are fast replacing their older generation feature phones with
them. Most of
smartphones of today have an inbuilt mobile tracker feature.
It is also possible to have a tracking or spy app installed
without the knowledge of the device owner. Such apps often
disguise themselves as utility app and are hidden while working
in background. One should always keep a lock code or password
for unlocking the mobile and should never leave the device
unattended. Once such spy app is installed it can access your
location in real time using the GPS built into the device and
call also access your phone book and call records. Due to
privacy and safety reasons one should always delete apps no
longer in use and restrict themselves from installing apps from
other app market places besides the popular ones operated by
Google (Play Store) and Apple (App Store). It is a good idea to
review the permissions granted to an app and restrict or block
access to services which might not be required for fulfilling
the primary purpose of the app. For example, an arcade gaming
App might ask for permission to your phone book, which can be
totally denied. Many social networking apps also ask for too
many permission and over time gather your personal information
which might help them profile you and show you targeted
advertising. Apps from renowned and respectable companies have
an option to set privacy option which lets you control how
much of your personal data you share with them.
There are Apps for
smartphones which alert the owner by sending a mail or sms
whenever the sim card on the device is replaced. For the fear of
being caught, the first thing mobile thieves do is switch off
the device and take its sim card out. Then they replace it with
other sim after a gap of few days, often with that of different
service provider company. Once the app detects the SIM change it
works in the background and sends a SMS or message to a
predefined number whenever. The message normally contains the
new SIM card number, subscriber phone number and at times physical
co-ordinates of the device. This data can be very helpful
for
recovering a lost or stolen mobile phone. As the message is
sent by the device in the background without any prompts or
notification on the screen the thief of the stolen mobile is
unaware of it. With the help of the new sim mobile number the
real time location of the mobile device can be traced and the
stolen device recovered. More ever from the new SIM number alone
the thief can be tracked as the telecom service provider company
must be having identity and address records furnished by the
person while taking the new phone connection.
