Abstract
A user who loses or has stolen his wireless telephone can access an Internet server that prompts the phone to send to the server (and, hence, the user) the GPS location of the phone. Also, when a wireless telephone reaches a low voltage state, indicating the imminent loss of the ability to call the phone to cause it to ring as a location aid, the phone automatically sends its last GPS location to the server.
