How to Find My iPhone by Phone Number

Part 1: Is it possible to use Find my iPhone by phone number?

To be completely honest, it is almost next to impossible to use find my iPhone by number. If you are talking about the IMEI number then that’s a different story, but it completely depends on your luck when it comes to finding an iPhone using just a phone number.

The reason is that the number you have been using is given by the service provider and if your phone is stolen or picked up someone, then chances are that they could have simply replaced its SIM. This makes it impossible to figure out your lost iPhone’s correct location.

If the SIM is not removed and your phone has been used by someone else to make a call, then fining its real-time location would be tough as well. Even in this scenario, you can discover the location from where the call was made (and to whom it was made). By the time you will reach that location, chances are that your phone could have been moved. Therefore, the chances of using find my phone by phone number to locate an iPhone are quite bleak.

Don’t worry! There are a few solutions that can help find my iPhone with phone number. We have listed some of them in the next section.
