We are into tracking industry and currently there is only one option apart from imsi tracking is gps module, and that could be achieved by creating an app that will be installed on a mobile devices, fetches the location based on gps anteena and share that location to your server.

@Amit you're correct, but we need service provider database access.

Amit Gupta · Answer

Agreed with the points of @Amit Mohanty, but catching using cellphone towers doesn't give you the pinpoint location of the cellphone, it will give you the location of the nearest tower of the sim service provider. I don't understand why someone have downvoted my answer, I would be glad if they post their relevant solution apart from that.

Amit Mohanty · Answer

IMSI and IMEI Tracker Technology: Police sometimes use tracking devices known as IMSI catchers, or Stingrays, to monitor cellphone movements. These machines essentially impersonate cellphone towers and intercept communications from cellphones, including their IMSI and IMEI codes. Therefore, a network of IMSI catchers can tell what cellphone users are in what areas at what times. Criminals and spies may also use these devices for their own purposes. While it may be possible to build your own IMSI catcher, you should consider the ethical and legal consequences before doing this.
