FAQs

Can you track a cell phone just by its number?

There are two ways to do this. The first is to use a phone search service to locate any cell phone in a given area. This method is very limited in scope, as you won't be able to track a person's exact location. This method also records the travel history of the person you are trying to track.

Another method is to use phone spy apps. These applications can track the exact location of a cell phone thanks to built-in GPS technology. Using a phone spy app is considerably more effective, more reliable, and easier than the first method.
