Simple Technique to Find a Lost Person’s Location via Mobile Phone

Whenever a you travel through a different state in India, you might have observed a welcome message from the respective mobile network provider about the current state and roaming details. This is where the person blows off his cover in India. Say for example a person from Hyderabad is traveling to a unknown location, then the only option to track him is via Mobile Network Provider. You have to do just call  that person, and wait for his response. If that person lifts your call, then there is noting you can do except talking to him. And if the call has not been connected or answered in any way, then there is a possibility to find his correct location. Usually this trick works when the target phone is either

  1. Call Waiting
  2. Switched Off
  3. Not Reachable

Each of these 3 options have different settings, as the IVR (Interactive voice response) will play the recorded message separately. So if a person from Hyderabad has traveled to Mumbai, then you will hear 3 different languages via IVR if not answering your call. English and Hindi are common for all the states, where as the regional language Telugu (Hyderabad) will surely change to Marathi (Mumbai) at any cost. This is where you can first get an idea that a person is currently located in Maharashtra. But how to know where exactly he is located in Maharashtra.

Don’t Miss: How to Activate Do Not Disturb Service

This is a bit tricky, as you have to find out the exact location of a person via network provider. All you have to do is to simply enter the nearest customer care of your targeted phone network, and ask them your friend is in Maharashtra, and you are unable to find whether he is in Mumbai or any other place. This trick should be used only in extreme cases like missing identities, lost of cell phones, human trafficking and etc. Don’t use this trick to fool your friends, as you might be filed a case against disturbing a persons personal life rights.

Pros:

  • Easy to track a person’s location state wide.
  • Useful when finding a missing persons location
  • Solidifies your statement of seeking help from network providers about a person
  • Improves your common sense and language skills

Cons:

  • Should know various languages
  • Can’t figure out if the network is out of India
  • Can’t figure out if the person lifts your call
  • Not reachable might not be tracked in small cities.

Hope this simple technique will give a small hope to find a person’s location instantly. You should immediately seek help from the network providers to get additional information about the person, but make sure you got the police FIR and other formalities to play safe. Remember that even Police cannot say no to your personal investigation about a person. But this is only applicable if a person is missing from a day, and also when you have a proper FIR with local police station.
