3. Once signed in, you’ll see a map with the location of your device. You can also access other options, such as Ring, Lock, or Erase.

Utilise Tracking Apps

There are several third-party tracking apps available that can help you locate your Android phone. Badili recommends popular options such as Prey, Cerberus, and Lookout. These utilise GPS technology to track the location of your device.

It is essential to install and set up one of these apps on your phone before it goes missing, ensuring that you are prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

The Power of IMEI Number

Another valuable resource for recovering your lost Badili smartphone is the IMEI number. This unique identifier is already on file with your cell carrier and can be used to put your phone on a missing phone list.

Report your missing phone to the authorities and provide them with the IMEI number to increase the chances of recovery.

To find your phone’s IMEI or MEID number, follow these steps:

• Dial *#06# from your phone, and the number will appear on your screen.
• On an Android phone, go to Settings > About Phone, where you should find the IMEI number displayed.

By following the above, tracking and recovering your lost Badili smartphone becomes a manageable and achievable task. Badili Africa offers quality refurbished smartphones and the necessary tools and guidance to ensure the safety of your device.
