Is there a way to track a phones location by its IMEI?

[snmslrc]

yeah... i bought my girl an n80 and sent it through fedex. when the box came the phone wasnt there... now im trying find a way to track the phone... if anybody has suggestions, i would really appreciate it.

You'll need to claim from fedex

[snmslrc]

wat do you mean claim..? is that the same as the declared value i put in..? cuz i kinda out only $150 on there...

Erm, then silly you. No there is no way to locate a phone globally - it's gone.

Claim your $150 and lesson learned.

well... how bout this... ... the claim is for a lost or stolen package.. right(i think)...? well wat if the fedex box arrived to the recepient... when she opened it up... the phone wasnt there... everythin else was there but the phone... doesnt that mean the phone got stolen within fedex...? do they do something about that..? sorry for botherin you man..

where's ur girl located at? in phils? Im sure you already the issue about the delivery service in phils. Is this your first time to send a package in phils? I hope you get already what i mean.

[snmslrc]

yeah... just found out bout the package issue... man... that sucks... yeah, i sent it to the philippines...

i was been a broad for almost 11 yrs. even before i left the phils. i know this already. I dont trust their package delivery especially in post office. even a cheap imported magazine, it alwaays lost. hope you leanr ur lesson buddy.

Edited: Additional info.
if you think it was lost in phils. try to contact the national telecom company in ohils and tell them that somebody stole your phone. and ask they to disable the function of it. They can disable it via IMEI.
BUT....big BUTTTTTTT.. lolz
you know those small retailers and stores. they can change and enter a new serial number on it to work ( even its illegal ). But i heard that once the natioanl commisionfound out a fake serial/IMEI , the person whos using the phone will be in biiiiggggg trouble.
