IMEIs can not be geographically tracked by an end user. If your mobile device is stolen and you wish to block it you can provide your IMEI (device serial number) to your local operator who will then, if they have the capability, block the device from being used with any SIM card.

The operator may then, in turn, share your IMEI with other local, national, and possibly international operators to ensure that the device cannot be used on other networks -- this eliminates the resale value of the phone assuming the IMEI is not altered.

Websites, other than your local Operator's, that claim to allow you to track IMEIs do not and can not perform this function.

Can you track mobile using IMEI number?

The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is specific to the handset. The mobile number is associated with the SIM card. If you swap a different SIM card into the mobile phone, it will have a different mobile number but the same IMEI number. The mobile company will have a record of the IMEI of the handset that used a particular mobile number for a particular call, and your mobile provider has a record of the IMEI of any phone you purchased from them, but you cannot in general trace the IMEI by the mobile number.
