sdgoley,

I'm sorry to be the one to inform you, but the short answer is that you can't use technological means to find it. There's really no way to locate a flip-type cellphone after the fact unless you have previously installed software to do so, or, some cellphone services offer tracking for employers or parents of children and teens.

If it's still on, your service provider can get the closest tower, but they usually aren't willing to allow access to the phone company data unless by law enforcement with a warrant. That typically requires more than a lost or stolen phone.

Usually, if the phone is just lost, the best bet is to dial it, and see if you can hear it ringing in the location where you think you lost it.

Hope that helps,
LHerrou
