Hi and welcomed to JustAnswer.

My name is Nick. I will assist you with your Android issues.

I am sorry that your phone is lost. This method is proven to work for most lost phones. However, it is not guaranteed to locate your phone as it depends on the state of your device (out of battery, turned off, or factory reset).

Please do the following steps to locate your lost android device:

1. First go to play.google on your computer.
2. Log into your Gmail/Google account.
3. Search for Android Lost app. Or click HERE .
4. Click Install button. Select your LOST device on the list and click Install button again.
5. Wait for 5-10 minutes.
6. Use another phone and text "androidlost register " to your LOST device.
7. Wait for another 5 minutes.
8. On your computer, go to androidlost and log into your Gmail/Google account.
9. Go to Controls tab.
10. Go to GPS section. Check the box "Auto Switch on GPS if deactivated ".
11. Click Send Location button.
12. You will see location of your LOST device.

If do not get anything back, it is most likely your phone is turned off, the SIM card is taken out of the phone, and/or the phone is factory reset.
