I lost my phone today.. had left it in my trousers.. mom gave it for washing to the maid.. when i returned home.. no trace.. mom doesnt know.. so obviously the maid took it.. Now, can I somehow trace the number? I do not have my IMEI noted down.. :(

have the bill?
are you certain enough that the maid took it that you can go to the police? sometimes even the threat of going to the police can help the maid find it from where it got lost...

^^ Yes. That's what IMEI numbers for. Aren't they?

In my city, there's a cell tracking unit. When provided IMEI number, they try to track down the stolen mobile. They've solved over 200 cases. However, not every stolen phone has been found.
