Now that I think about, how does one — who lives alone —dial for a mobile phone if you happen to have a landline phone and don’t remember your mobile phone’s number? Or even if you don’t have a landline, you just search frantically for the mobile phone (there have been times I search and search for my misplaced mobile phone in my small apartment after looking more than once every inch of the place).
This is actually a good way. Works for keys, too! https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Mate-Finder-Anything-Finder/dp/B01L3VEC08/ref=sr_1_5?crid=D7COUPBT4SDK&keywords=locator+tags&qid=1567661891&s=gateway&sprefix=locator%2Caps%2C218&sr=8-5
I have a phone bag that I wear. So handy, no lost phone unless I put the phone down and turn around. It magically disappears. Thank goodness for the land line.
My wife has two cell phones ( one Smart and the other not-so-much ) and she is always misplacing one of them. I have one and I rarely use it – except to locate my wife’s phone for her.
A couple months ago, I saw my Great-Niece with the flyswatter. I asked her what she was doing with it. She said, “Catchin’ ’piders.” I said, “Uh, okay.” She’s two years old. She walked around the corner, looked up the stairs and shouted, “Hello? ’piders! Where are you? Hello? ’piders!”

I am definitely going to do this the next time my wife misplaces her phone and asks me to call it.

This might work if the phone is on and Siri barks like a dog.

I call my phone at least once a day to find where I put it! If I dump the landline I would be out of luck!

Actually, that works on Apple phones. I’ll yell: Hey Sir! Where are you? And she will answer; “right here.” Try it.

As bad as yelling at the dog “Where are you” and expect an answer!

Earl should go to Calvin and Hobbes to help Calvin’s mother call for Hobbes-he might get somewhere.
