If someone has my iPhone mobile number, can they track where my iPhone is located?
Or do they need to know the serial number and my account pass words?
Thank you for your assistance in advance
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1
not unless a lot of things have happended to set them up for tracking it
would need your password, or to install 3rd party software on your device
Phone number is enough usually. Unless you're talking CIA/DIA tracking.
Thanks for prompt reply Tgara
I am concerned about some unsavoury individuals coming to my house, having got my mobile number.
How would they track my phone just with the mobile number?

Unless the work for the CIA, MI6, Interpol or the KGB, they can't.
You might also consider changing the locks on your doors, and generally not letting "unsavoury individuals" near your phone.
Well, phone = phone number. It's giving off signals via the SIM chip that can be tracked by anyone with the right equipment. I've seen all the Mission Impossible movies, so I know how these things work.
Thanks Meg St. Clair
They have not had access to the phone, on the mobile number - I'm in the United Kingdom, so am thinking it is only police who could track

That is correct. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Thank you
That makes me worry less
I have also turned off the location services
Glad it helped.
Can someone else track my iPhone?
