Misplace your cellphone? This single-purpose web site can help
If you don't happen to have a second phone handy, Where's My Cell Phone can help. The web site is covered with annoying ads, but it provides one marginally useful service. If you need to make your phone ring, all you have to do is enter your number and hit the "Make it Ring" button. Your phone should start ringing a few seconds later.
Once you place a call you have to wait a few minutes before making another, so make sure to spend the 30 seconds or so that you have while your phone rings wisely.

the best part is the call comes from 481-516-2342, genius!

I think this would have been better: 867-5309.

Can I just use another phone to call my cell instead get online to make it ring? What happen if I have it silent?

did you even read the article?
"If you don't happen to have a second phone hand"
I think it was pretty clearly stated
and if its on silent that's your problem, its not like calling from another phone would make much difference then anyway.

Very cool idea, but... What if I just want to bother the hell out of someone! I didn't have a chance to look into it too much, but I hope they have great abuse protection in place! I can see how this can be used to bother someone! At the same time I can see how you may need to call the number a few times before you find your phone. So how do they take care of that?
Interesting anyway!

This service is US and Canada only. Anyone know of an equivalent UK service?
