How to track a lost cell phone

There are basically 3 concepts behind tracking a cell phone

 1. Every mobile phone has a unique identification number known as IMEI number that is different from any other cell phones. When you make a call from your cell phone, both your IMEI number and SIM number get recorded at the service provide database like MAC address and IP address of computer. When you lose that cell phone, if any body else replaces your sim with his sim and makes a call , then the same IMEI number but with new SIM number gets recorded at the service provider database.

 Hence you could get information from the service provider about who is using your lost cell phone.

 2. Another method of tracking a lost cell phone is generally a special feature in various smart phones called "Cell phone Tracking" . You can enable this feature to automatically send a text message to a predefined number in case a new sim is inserted. So, if you lose your cell phone and someone inserts his sim than as soon as the mobile starts the mobile automatically sends the new sim number to a predefined cell number. 

 Hence you can know the new user mobile number and backtrack the name and location of the owner with the help of service provider.

 3. Another method of mobile tracking is based on Internet and GPS system. You could install particular application that uses mobile IMEI and /or SIM number to keep track of mobile activities and location. You could use the web based version of such application in any PC to track the activities related that cell phone. 

 Location tracking of a cell phone is done by analyzing signals from nearby BTS towers and GPS.
