Real-time tracking for lost or stolen phones — what works?
Which services actually provide real-time mobile location by number for lost or stolen phones? I don’t want scams—need legal methods, carrier options, or police-assisted tracking that really work pls.

First, use the device's built-in tools-Apple's Find My or Google's Find Hub for real-time GPS tracking (if enabled), or location/carrier family apps (such as Secure Family) for accounts with permission. If the device is stolen, report it to the police—in emergency cases, investigators may request real-time pings or carrier data using legal grounds (warrant/E911). You can learn more about this on this forum. Avoid paid phone number tracking aggregators—many are scams.
