    I lost my phone the other day and can't find it anywhere, is there a way of finding it by using my number or tracking my sim ?

    Does it ring when you call? Is it a smartphone? Does it have a 'where's my phone' app it it's iOS/Android? Did you ask your provider?, they should know what tower it last had contact with.

    If it is an android phone that has data turned on there is an app that you can install from the app store (via a normal browser) that will send you the gps location of the phone. I can't remember the name of it, but you can dig that out yourself.

    You seem to have a habit of repeating other posts. How about suggesting something new?

    How about you leave the moderation up to the moderator?
