How Can I Find My Lost Phone Using Just Its Phone Number?

Ugh, what a nightmare. And don’t even get me started on the prices of those special tracking services, they’re always so expensive for a simple location ping.

Honestly, most of those “find by number” sites are pretty sketchy and don’t really work unless you had an app installed on the phone before you lost it.

Your best and totally free option is to use Google’s official “Find My Device” page from a computer. You just need to log in with the Google account that was on your Android phone. It’ll show you the last known location for free. Have you tried recovering access to your Google account? That’s the real key here.

Also, make sure to call your mobile carrier and let them know it’s lost so they can suspend the service.

Hope you get it back! On that note, if anyone knows of any good, actually free phone finder apps for families, drop the names. I’m always looking for a good deal.
