Go to the phone store. If you are able to determine the cell's provider, store representatives may be able to trace the phone using a G.P.S system. (if the phone has G.P.S. capabilities) This route should only be used in an emergency as stores can not generally provide this service to just anyone. In some cases, a police official must call ahead and give the store permission to use the tracking system.

Tips & Warnings
Ask your phone provider about incorporating G.P.S. or a family map plan as part of your phone package. By adding the service, friends and family members can locate you with their own phones or computers at any time.
