Pin down your own lost or stolen phone, fast
Lost your own phone, or had it stolen? Punch in your number and Getlocate reads live mobile-network signals to estimate the area it's sitting in — then hand a report to the police if it was taken. Nothing to install, and it works across most carriers and networks.
Track down your lost or stolen phone in 3 steps
Type in your number
Enter the number of the phone you've lost or had stolen. Nothing gets installed and there's nothing to configure on the handset itself.
We read the signals
Getlocate scans the mobile-network signals tied to your number and works out the area your handset is likely in.
See its likely area
You get an estimated area and region plotted on a map, pointing to roughly where the phone is — usually in a couple of minutes. Take it to the police if the phone was stolen.
Made for tracing lost & stolen phones
Live signal, not stale data
Most free tools recycle old, generic records. Getlocate leans on current mobile-network signals to pin a fresher area for your handset.
Skip the account logins
You don't need a Find My iPhone or Google Find My Device account — start from your number alone, with nothing to install.
iPhone or Android alike
Traces a lost or stolen iPhone or Android handset across most carriers and networks.
Backed by a refund
You pay per search. If we can't hand back a usable area for your phone, the 30-day money-back guarantee has you covered.
Lost & stolen phone questions
How do I trace my lost or stolen phone?
Enter your own number, confirm the search, and Getlocate returns an estimated area, region and map — usually within a few minutes, with no app to install.
My phone was stolen — can Getlocate help?
Yes. Enter your own number to get an estimated area from mobile-network signals, then share it with the police in your report. Getlocate is only for a device you own — it can't be used to track anyone else.
Will it work if my phone is switched off?
Tracing works best while the handset is powered on and holding a mobile signal. If it's off or outside coverage, a current area may not come back — and the money-back guarantee applies in that case.
Is Find My iPhone or Google Find My Device required?
No — there's no account or app to set up on the handset, since you begin from your number. Getlocate estimates from the network and stands apart from Find My iPhone or Google Find My Device.
How precise is the estimated location?
Getlocate hands back an approximate area — frequently the right city or district — drawn from mobile-network signals. Every result carries a confidence score, and precision shifts with network coverage.
How quickly do results come back?
Most searches surface an estimated area within a few minutes, depending on coverage and whether the handset is currently online.
Does anything need installing on the phone?
No. Nothing goes onto the handset — the estimate rests on your phone number and the mobile-network signals around it.
Can I trace a lost or stolen Android?
Yes. Getlocate handles lost and stolen Android handsets across most carriers, whether it's a Samsung, a Google Pixel or another make.
Can I trace a lost or stolen iPhone?
Yes. Getlocate traces an iPhone straight from its number — no iCloud or Find My iPhone sign-in needed.
What if I lost it overseas?
Getlocate reaches across many countries, so you can search whether the handset is close by or abroad, as far as local network coverage allows.
What does a search cost?
Getlocate runs on pay-per-search — one clearly stated fee. You see the full price before anything is charged.
Is the search kept private?
Yes. Each search is secured with 256-bit SSL and never sold or shared. We hold data only as long as it takes to deliver your result.
What if no area comes back?
If we can't return a usable area for your handset, our 30-day money-back guarantee steps in — a full refund, no questions asked.
Can I locate a phone that isn't mine?
No. Getlocate is only for a device you own, or your own underage child's phone. It can't be used to track another adult without their consent — see our Legal Use page.
Is locating a phone legal?
Locating a device you own, or your own minor child's phone, is lawful in most places. Using Getlocate in line with your local laws is your responsibility.
30-day money-back guarantee
Every search is pay-per-search and stands behind a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Getlocate can't return a usable area for your own lost or stolen phone, ask for a full refund — no questions asked.
