Well if you have lost your cellphone already, this website may help a little:http://www.trackimei.com/Default.aspxBut, I think you have to first report it......maybe it won't help without reporting it stolen.
Or....you can also try this website to download helpful softwares & try to work it out by yourself:http://imei-number.com/anti-theft-mobile-tracking-software/
Or... I've been using this software & working fine so far, it has so many great features like tracking/lock on sim change/msg on sim change etc, read more on their website:
http://yougetitback.com/mobile_superhero

Another one is:
http://www.kaspersky.com/kaspersky_mobile_security
Im sure this will definitely help your problem.
but I have doubt if it works with "After Stolen" cases.

SOURCE: my nokia 5300 handset not working in all sim card

this phone might have been made only to detect the airtel sim cards as the phone in question might have been made only for the air tel company
in collaboration with nokia .

so there might be no code for it to allow all the sim cards .

imagine it like the cdma phone distributed by reliance communications

SOURCE: lost nokia5233. how can i track the new sim

You will need to contact the carrier and report the phone as lost so that the phone can be flagged. Since you mention thief and police, then you should contact the carrier and report the phone as stolen, they may require a police report filing # as well. The carrier likely won't let you know directly, but likely report the phone status to the police department where report was made.

Track the location of a lost cell using the IMEI number

1. Call up the "Customer Care" helpline of your airtime provider and ask them to deactivate the SIM.
2. Call up the police. Submit them the IMEI number of your phone (which you should have noted before the theft).


From what I understand, the IMEI number is broadcast to the network every time a call is made, along with the user's account information on the sim card.So let's say the person who stole the phone just takes out your sim and puts in their's, and keeps using the phone. Your Carrier should be able to track it by their account info.
A unique code encrypted in each mobile, known as the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, is now being used to trace a mobile anywhere in the country. Even if the SIM card (network) is changed, it can be traced.
Whenever a phone logs onto a particular network to make or receive calls, its IMEI number is emitted and this gets registered. In case of stolen phones, the service provider can pass on the information to the police. and they can trace the user through the SIM card. It is possible to even track down gangs running cellphone-stealing rackets.

Register with a website like Track IMEI, Mobile Phones Tracker or Theft Record. You simply have to visit the website and submit your handset's IMEI number. If the company's dealers ever come across a IMEI-number.html#" target=_blank className="iAs" itxtdid="26528975">cell phone with your IMEI number, they will trace it and contact you.

Hint:
check out Theft Aware - this is a tool that can help you recover your lost or stolen mobile phone. It is completely invisible on your phone and the owner can remotely control his mobile phone and perform a variety of actions that remain invisible to thieves.

I have lost my Samsung handset and the biggest thing is that I do not have IMEI number.. Is there anthing that can be done?

I am sorry to say that it's not possible. Even if you have the IMEI No. of your handset, you should have registered it with your Service/Network Operator when you were using the phone with your sim card activated, otherwise you'll never be able to track the handset. Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

MOBILE LOST, WANT TO TRACK LOCATION

Lost your mobile phone?

Not to worry. Your cell phone operator or the police can help you find it if only you can give them the IMEI number.

If you don't have your phone's IMEI number, it is impossible to track the phone since your phone doesn't have the inbuilt tracker software like samsung phones...


The IMEI (international mobile equipment identity) is your handset's fingerprint that helps track down your lost phone.
Here's how you can find the IMEI number of your cell phone: Just punch in *#06#, and the phone will display a 15-digit number. Note this number.
The IMEI number gets logged on to the SIM card and a cellular operator can locate the area from where a call is made

Cell iost

Hi
i am sorry about your lost mobile phone.
here is some info to claim your lost phone

First thing you need to do if your phone is lost or has been stolen is to contact your mobile service provider and ask them to block your number. To block your phone from being used from any network at all, you must have its IMEI Number.

An IMEI number -The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is an international identity number used to uniquely identify a mobile phone.
The 15-digit IMEI number is an electronic fingerprint transmitted everytime a phone is used, which reveals the identity of the mobile handset.
If u lost your mobile, send an e-mail to mailto:cop%40vsnl.net with the followinginfo.
Your name:
Address:
Phone model:
Make:Last used No.:
E-mail for communication:
Missed date:
IMEI No:
This will ensure that your mobile phone cannot be used,and that it can be tracked even if the SIM card has been changed.
thank you and notify me after you have done these
bye

Lost nokia n95

Jain,
Telcoms can track IMEI's. There is no doubt on this. Part of the normal information that a handset sends to the network regularly is its IMEI. Obviously each network can only track an IMEI that is on it's own network. For a telcom to give the police (or anyone else) the details of the user whose SIM is in the handset, they would require a warrant. Most police will not even bother.
For more details you can see this site:

Thanks
Iqbal
