Track Lost Android Phone Even If Tracker Was Not Installed

If you have installed tracking app, you can track your lost smartphone. Also, you can do a lot of other things like take snaps etc. Even, if you have a basic phone then you can track it with the IMEI number.

But, what if you haven't installed any tracking app? Don't worry, here we have the solution for that situation.

In one of my earlier articles, I have listed 5 apps to find lost android phone but keeping those users in mind who have a basic phone, rather than smartphone, we introduced guide to trace cell phones using IMEI number. But, the problem with both the methods was that, you were required to do something with your phone to track them later when they lost.

For example, an Android tracking app should be installed in users device or IMEI number should be registered to track them later but in most of the situations, what happens is that, we don’t have any tracking app installed or IMEI registered in our smartphone, when we loose them.

At this time "Lookout Plan B" app comes in handy.

What is "Lookout Plan B"?

Lookout Plan B is a free android device tracking app available to download for free at Google play store. It lets you track your lost Android phone which didn’t have any tracking app installed in it or the tracking app is not working at the moment.
