Non-GPS cell phones can be tracked by using free services, such as Google Latitude. However, if you have already lost your phone and do not have any programs or apps that help you track it, then it can't be traced. Using Google Latitude is very straightforward and allows you to precisely track the location of your phone. All you need is a phone, Google account and a computer.
Step 1
Go to the Google Latitude page, and click on the large blue button on the upper-right corner of the screen that reads, "Send to Phone."
