Can a mobile phone be tracked when switched off?

Can IMEI number be tracked if phone is switched off?
However, if the phone has been turned off or even the location services have been turned off, this won't work. To track the IMEI, you have to get in touch with Law Enforcement Agencies in your country. They will be able to track as well as blacklist the IMEI of your lost phone.
