Look on the company's website for the whereabouts of your phone. Once the software is installed into your phone, it will be able to detect the location of your phone, as long as the phone is on, has a live battery and is in a position where it can receive satellites. If the battery has died, the GPS software can tell you where the phone was the last time the battery was charged.
