Ah, the classic “SIM card mysteriously vanishes” scenario.

Yes, you can track a phone without a SIM, but with a huge catch: the spy app must have been installed before the SIM was removed, and the phone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network. Without Wi-Fi, the phone is just a brick that can’t send you any information.

The location data will be pulled from the phone’s GPS or Wi-Fi positioning, so accuracy isn’t the main issue. The real problem is that you’ll only get updates when the user decides to connect to a network.
