I lost my phone yesterday in my house and it has no minutes meaning I can't call it. Is there anyway to make it ring or an alternative to help me find it. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the company you get your minutes from can help you out.

What type of phone is it ?? If it is an iPhone or an Android you might be able to track it yourself. Good luck.

Put a small load into it online or on the landline to the company and then call it.

Add a minimum of minutes so you can call it ?

Should be able to do that on-line or from another phone.

Or try calling your provider and see if they will ring it for you. (Probably they won't because you might be a prankster)

Buy a new phone. Then you will find your old phone within an hour. Just seems to work that way for a lot of items.

I'm on a minutes plan and I can add more online.

once you do find it. if it's a smart phone then download a gps tracking app for it then you will be able to hop on the pc open your browser and track it after entering some info ( providing that your phones turned on )

If they have not found it by now the battery is probably dead anyway.
