Abstract
In one example, a method includes receiving a report indicating that a mobile device has been lost or stolen, sending, in response to the report, an instruction to the mobile device that causes the mobile device to connect to a network slice that is dedicated for protecting and tracking lost and stolen mobile devices, sending, in response to determining that the mobile device has connected to the network slice, a second instruction to the mobile device that causes the mobile device to modify a setting of the mobile device to limit a functionality of the mobile device and to permit tracking of the mobile device, receiving, via the network slice, a message from the mobile device indicating a current physical location of the mobile device, and reporting the current physical location of the mobile device.
