Locate a phone by
its number

While there are no 100% free apps to find a phone by its number, it's possible to locate a phone number without paying a hefty monthly fee. That's exactly how Detectico works. You can use its advanced features for 24 hours for less than a dollar.

Yes, you sure can. Enter the phone number and send a message with a special link. Once the recipient opens the link and provides their consent, Detectico will display the device's location on a map.

Using Detectico sounds simple because it really is. But don't the simplicity fool you. The tech behind Detectico is anything but basic. We’ve put a lot of work into making it super advanced yet incredibly easy for you to use.

You don’t need to install an app to use Detectico. It's web-based, meaning it can be accessed from any browser. Just type in the phone number, and once the recipient consents, you'll see the location.

Sure thing. Enter the number you want to locate, and Detectico will take it from there. It doesn't really matter where the device is in the world, the USA, Shi-Lanka, or somewhere else. As long as their phone is connected to the internet, our service will find it. And if you don't remember the exact number, you can rely on Plan B: Detectico's "Location by link" feature. Use it to generate a special link and send it through a messaging app, email, or any other platform of your choice.

No limitations! It doesn't really matter what phone you want to locate: the brand-new iPhone, an old Huawei, or a flip phone straight from the 2000s (remember Samsung Fleur?). With Detectico, you don't need to worry about compatibility. If that device can receive messages, Detectico can find its exact location. Type in their number, pick a message from the list, and Detectico will handle the rest.

Nope! Detectico keeps your personal data secure. It doesn't include any text in your message, just a special link. What you see in a template is exactly what gets sent.

Yes! Detectico lets you locate your phone by number. Enter your number and hit "Send." Your device will receive a text with a special link, so you'll find it in no time.

No, Detectico doesn't show previously visited places. It collects data when you share a special link. Once it's opened, our tool captures a phone's location. This means it detects where the device was when this link was opened. And since Detectico collects data instantly, you get the most up-to-date location information.

In this case, Detectico's "Location by link" feature is the best way to go! The trick is that messaging apps use phone numbers as IDs. This means they keep working over Wi-Fi even if the SIM card is removed. All you need to do is create a special link with Detrctico and share it via any preferred messaging app.

A whole lot of things! You can find the phone's location by its number, and locate your own device if it's misplaced or lost. Detectico also has reverse lookup capabilities, meaning you can identify unknown numbers and see if your contact information has appeared in any known data breaches.
