How To Track Your Phone Without Paying Police

According to Consumer Report Organization,

a nonprofit organization, working side by

side with consumers. In 2015, 2.1 million

phones were stolen in the US and another

3.1 million were lost. Fast forward, by now

the numbers might be much higher than

that. In Africa, I bet the number is quite high

also, for losing a phone is easy, if you are

not careful.
