URGENT! Lost my cell phone, can I GPS locate it?

[dwcopple]

LG Optimus V Android phone. Lost it somewhere today. Any way I can locate it with website or software?

Do you have "Lookout" on your phone? It's a free spyware/malware app that a ton of people have...and it allows you to locate your phone too. The paid version allows you to lock it and wipe it clean.

Call your provider's customer service?

Retrace your steps since it's only been a few hours. Call the phone to see if anyone picked it up or hear it ringing in the car, house etc...

I have no way of calling so I used a ringback website and txt website and did the "Plan B" app for gmail and android phones. It better work...

Lookout's great - make sure you have all location services enabled for that feature to work.

found it. It fell in the grass on my walk to my back garage somehow. GPS located it.
