Call your own cell number.

The compact size of a cell phone is a great convenience when you need to store your cell phone. However, this size also makes a cell phone easy to lose. That's where the problem lies. Many people use their cell phone as their main way of communication, so when the phone is lost, it is difficult to call the cell number to locate the phone. Finding the cell phone can entail using landlines, your friend' phone or online resources to call the cell number.
