No tracking of lost or stolen mobiles:Your carrier does not track lost and stolen mobiles and they cannot be pinpointed.I have spotted devices with the logos of Australian carriers in the windows of phone shops around South East Asia, which might give you some clues as to how effective IEMI blocking is.JohnOn Tue, 9 Jul 2019 at 15:16, Robert Hudson <hudrob at gmail.com> wrote:Hi all,Is it possible for a mobile carrier in Australia to locate a stolen mobile phone, via the police (they've been notified, and a case number issued)?We know the data is there (metadata, etc), but can it be used by the owner of a device to locate it (or to have the location found by the police to track/recover it)?Regards,Robert
