You might have your phone lost or stolen, that's very sad for everybody. However sometimes you just misplace your handset and could not remember where you have put it. This is kind of annoying because you may have searched everywhere to find it in vain.
You know your device is somewhere around you, you just could not find it. In this case, what can you do? In fact there are a few ways to find out.
First, call it using another mobile device, or landline if you have one. If you have a family around, then this is a great idea. However landline could be a good solution if you do not have a backup phone.
Second, call it from the internet. That's right, you hear it right. You can make a call using web apps, and here is a great phone locator to find your mobile phone, by number.
It's rather easy to use. Just type in your name and phone number, then hit connect. Your phone will ring in a minute and you will find it lying somewhere nicely. Just give it a try.
Oh, by the way, it now only supports US and Canadian numbers. For more information, just google it.
