Hello Nairalanders,

My phone was snatched from me on the 1st of December 2018, by a thief that was riding a motorcycle. When I bought the phone, I was advised to install pinssolutions (PinsApp) application on the phone and paid for one year service but up till this moment, pinssolution (PinsApp) have not been able to provide me with useful info on how the phone can be tracked and retrieved.

So I humbly ask Nairalanders to help me by providing useful information on how I can track and retrieve my phone as the phone is just 3 months old.

Thanks

my advice,
forget it. thats wat i did in my case

if it's an android phone and you had find my phone turned on before the theft, just visit:
https://android.com/find
sign in with your Google and select the missing phone among devices. the rest is self explanatory. u can find the device on a map provided the device is turned on and connected to the Internet.

HOW TO TRACE A MISSING OR STOLEN PHONE

If you lose your mobile phone, you can trace it without going to the police.

Most of us always fear that our phones may be stolen at any time.

Each phone carries a unique
IMEI no. i.e. International Mobile Equipment Identity No which can be used to track it anywhere in the world.

This is how it works:

1. Dial *#06# from your mobile.

2. Your mobile phone shows a unique 15 digit.

3. Note down this number at a secure place except in your mobile phone itself as this is the number which will help trace your phone in case of theft.

4. Once stolen, just E-mail this 15 digit IMEI No. to [email protected] with details as stated below:

Your name:____________________
Address:______________________
Phone model:_________________
Make:_________________________
Last used No.:_________________
E-mail for communication:_____
Missed date:___________________
IMEI No :_______________________

5.Your Mobile will be traced within next 24 hours via a complex system of GPRS and internet, You will find where your hand set is being operated and the new 's No. will be sent to your email.
6. After this, you can inform the Police with the details you now have.

I just recovered mine last month,although it took almost two month due to the fact that it was not immediately put into use after stolen,through the help of SARS here in Abuja, the Innocent girl who bought the stolen phone was track to her house,if not for I consider her I am sure she will be in kuje prison by now.

I reside in Lagos, is there a way you can assist me? Can you link me up to the SARS officials that assisted you back then in Abuja?
