What is the Recovery Rate of Tracked Cell Phones?

The tracking of cell phones is very accurate, 98% of all tracked cell phones are recovered. Not all phones get stolen; the owners may misplace the cell phone which may go missing for up to five days. After the tracking system is initiated, the cell phone ends up in the owners’ house.

The tracking technology is very fast and accurate, the moment a theft victim reports to the tracking company on the stolen phone, the company will ask for information such as the make and the model of the stolen phone. This information is very important to counter check if the phone is in the tracking companies’ database. On confirming that all is in place the phone will be located in the next 30 minutes or after an hour maximum.

Since the tracking system is locating the phone via satellite transmission, factors such as transmission failure is among few reason why a tracking system may delay locating your stole phone.

Mishandling the cell phone by either smashing the phone completely or changing components may also affect the recovery process. Whatever the case the, the person mishandling the phone may not be fast enough to before the tracking system detects the exact location of the phone.
