where oh where has my little phone gone, oh where oh where could it be?

Lost my phone. Again. Is there a website that I can get to call my phone so it can ring and I can find it?

I know, it's ridiculous. But somebody else has to have this problem every once in a while? Right?

What I would do is call it with Skype. If you don't have it, you can download it for free and get a small starting credit I think.
Good luck!

Best answer: If you have AIM, you can text it for free by sending an IM to +1areacodenumber (i.e. [phone])

1) get on gchat and text a friend to call you

2) use your provider's website. they have entire pages set up for exactly this reason

3) chirp loudly in the hopes that it may chirp back. flip-phones looks kinda like plastic birds, right?

Type mortgage or home equity into google, and there should be an ad to the right where you can input your phone number for them to connect you.
