My name is Lindy.

My phone was stolen two days ago and I've been trying to locate it via the samsung locate my mobile site but it still shows that it is offline and there isn't much I can do :(
Is there any way else that I can locate it even when it is not switched on?

Please help, looking forward to your response.
 
Solution
No way to locate it until it's switched on. The thief will probably be wise to the tracking technology and will wait a week or two until you've given up, then he/she will buy a new SIM and switch it on.

Call your carrier and report the phone stolen. They will register the IME of that phone as stolen. The minute the phone is switched on and connects to the cellular network, the IME will be recognized by their system and phone will be shut down permanently regardless of whether or not there is a new SIM card. Thieves lose no matter what :)
