ANSWER: Hello Dilshad Ahmed,

There is a way to track the phone you can not track the phone to a specific location but to a near by location. First thing you need to do is find out his IMEI find out which carrier he is using and the carrier can perform an IMEI search. The IMEI will determine the cell phone number associated with the IMEI. What can be done next is they can keep tabs on the phone calls that are being made and through a triangle process they can come to a block location of where the person you are searching for is located. This is the only method that can be used to locate people through GSM phones. I hope that I have been of help to you if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your question.
