i have a sprint titan and i lost my phone at work. i am an electrician in an automotive plant and had set my phone down on one of the machines. anyway, after calling my phone repeatedly and seeing that it was still ringing and on, plus i called sprint to see if any activity was used on my phone, and when i found out that no one was using it. i knew that no one had found it yet. so ten hours later after loosing it, i logged onto sprint website and signed up for a free trial period of the sprint family locator system. i signed up for it and listed my titan... and guess what? it showed that my phone was not only still in the plant... it showed exactly where it was at. now when i mean exactly. it showed a dot on top of the plant building via satellite view in the general area of where i left the phone. when i went to the area of the plant, i instantly remember working on a machine when i last remember seeing my phone. i went back to the machine... and my PHONE WAS SITTING RIGHT WHERE I LEFT IT :-). the only down side to this is that this only works if your phone is lost and still on, because as soon as you activate the family locator, it will send a text to the phone and it only works if the phone is still on.

Search for Smartphone Tracker... it's free and easy to use. It'll send GPS coordinates to either another phone or an e-mail or both. All you have to do is text the missing phone with "getgps" and it'll open GPS and send coordinates. You can also set it up to work in hidden mode in case someone stole your phone and you don't want them knowing that you are getting the info.
