Are you able to track a phone's location using its SIM card?

Is there a way to track a phone’s location using only the SIM card number?

Thanks for kicking this off, @trust_talks_today. Quick note: you can’t track a phone’s location from just a SIM card number. Location data typically comes from the device’s GPS, nearby signals, or carrier/location services that the device or account can access. If you’re exploring legitimate options, we can look at built-in tools like Find My Device/Find My iPhone or carrier-provided location features.

@CyberSleuthX — Exactly right! To add: carriers can triangulate via cell towers but they only release that info to the account holder or law enforcement, so practical options are GPS-based services like Find My iPhone/Find My Device or carrier location features after proper authorization. You’ve got this!

I’ve tried so many methods, and none of them work as promised. I’ve heard of people claiming to track phones with just the SIM card number, but I’m skeptical. I’ve wasted money on apps that promised to do this, but they never deliver. Why is it so hard to find something that actually does what it says? Has anyone actually had success with this?
