  Track It, Block It, Get It Back — CEIR in Action The Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) is a national system designed to identify, track, and control mobile devices through their unique IMEI numbers. It plays a critical role in reducing phone theft, mobile fraud, and the illegal resale of stolen devices. Acting as a unified and authoritative source, CEIR allows telecom operators and law enforcement authorities to mark any mobile IMEI as stolen, blocked, or recovered. Once marked, that device cannot be used on any registered mobile network even if a thief inserts a new SIM card. The core idea behind CEIR is to make stolen phones useless to criminals, ultimately reducing theft rates and restoring user confidence in mobile security. The system works under strict legal, regulatory, and privacy frameworks. Only authorized users such as police departments, regulators, and licensed operators can modify or query the records. Regular users can only initiate a report of theft or lo...

Consumer-facing recovery tools (like Apple’s Find My or Google’s Find My Device) rely on the phone signing into a cloud account and connecting to the internet, usually over Wi-Fi or a cellular link. There are also third-party apps and enterprise device-management systems that can share the device’s location if they were installed and given permission before the device went missing. That said, the average person cannot independently and reliably track IMEI number on their own through public channels; doing so typically requires cooperation from a mobile operator, device manufacturer, or law enforcement, and must follow legal and privacy rules. For practical recovery of a lost phone without a SIM, focus...
