4. T- Mobile Lookout App

The Lookout app is a software designed by T-Mobile to help track lost and stolen devices that use the T-Mobile cellular network. It is available on both Android and iOS. The app can only help trace the missing phone if it is already on the phone.

To use the app, log in to your T-Mobile Lookout account from another browser. If you do not remember the login credentials, contact the customer service for help.

Tap on the menu icon and scroll down to 'find my phone.' It gives you the options for an 'alarm sound' or 'a map.'

The alarm sound helps you track your phone if you happen to misplace it at home or in the office. The map, on the other hand, enables you to locate the position of your phone over long distances through GPS.

You can begin by tapping on the 'alarm sound.' If the phone is nearby, you will hear a loud alarm through the speaker. It works even in silent mode.

If you are unsuccessful in locating your phone through the alarm, you can proceed to use the map. Upon tapping on the 'map' icon, a map appears on your screen. It then narrows down to a point at the map. This is where your phone is, and you can use the map to get the exact street address and directions of the place.

The Lookout app is efficient as it can locate your phone even when it is off. The app also locks your phone's screen that no one else can use the phone until you find it.
