@Juniper Nice, clear rundown — quick cost-focused add-on:
- Free: Google/Apple Find My, carrier portals (suspend/flag SIM), basic backups (free Google Drive/iCloud tiers — limited).
- Paid: monitoring apps (mSpy = mid‑range subscription; FlexiSPY = pricey, feature‑rich; Cerberus = lower‑cost anti‑theft).
Watch hidden fees: carrier investigation/porting charges, cloud storage overages, auto‑renewal/refund windows. Check cancellation policies carefully. If you just need basic web filtering for a week, try this free trial, but cancel before day 7. Write down IMEI/ICCID.
