Answer:
if its a CDMA (verizon/sprint) phone it will be easy to track by reporting it stolen and having your provider check the gps location. if its a GSM phone (att/t-mobile) all they have to do is remove the sim card and it can't be tracked. good luck

ask your provider to see if it's on and track it over the air

TELL THE TEACHER. Or call the phone company AFTER SCHOOL (must be after school because the person that stole it will be home watching TV like a lazy fat person by then) next call your cell phone company's customer service helpline with all account information available, then tell them that somebody stole your cell phone and you want to track them down and get it back.

Yes, have you ever put your cell phone by your monitor or speaker system, and you'll see the monitor freak out or speakers but theirs no call. They ping your cell phone about once an hour or more to track where you been all day everyday. They can easily track you down to a 90 foot area or less.

the only way you can do that is call your service provider to see if the phone is being used by someone. then at that point they will just disconnect your line until you get another sim card or replace phone. however they do not know he has the cell phone only if it was used.

Keep it on for a day or two and call it from a number you don't have stored in your phone book. See who answers and play stupid. Get them to tell ya. If that doesn't work, check out your phone records from the time you lost it on... See who they've been calling. Then turn it off!!!

well if your cell provider uses SiM cards then theres a small chance you will get it back because you can change the card but if it has a GPS call the store you bought it from and they can track it.

If you had something that could transmit the signal to it then you could find it. I think they have something on the computer where you can find its location on a GPS map. Good luck finding it.

I don't think you can track it if you didn't put a tracker on it... Tell the principal? Or call the company and they can track it.

some phones are outfitted with a gps tracker. It is designed to be used by police in the event of an emergency but your service provider may be able to track it if yours does have one.
