I know of two ways, and learn about the third right now. See EDIT 2.
One would be to already have a security app that has such a feature and a companion web site with log in.
Another would be to activate Latitude on that device within Maps or the standalone app by Google before losing it. Or activate it under your GMail account right now (https://www.google.com/latitude/) that is linked to that Android device and allow location sharing. Your device should report back the location every 1 hour but I think there is a manual accept clause on the device before you can do so. Try it and let me know if activating Latitude after the fact works or not.
EDIT: Turn on location history for it to work properly.
EDIT 2: "But Android users can still take action. Thanks to the Web-based Android Market, you can remotely install recovery software to your phone or tablet, even if it is no longer in your possession. For instance, in addition to its mobile security suite, Lookout offers the aptly named Plan B. You remotely install the app through the Web-based Android Market, and it begins to run automatically, sending email messages to your Gmail account with a map showing where your equipment is. Don’t rely on this app alone, though: Consider Plan B only as a last resort, rather than as your primary or sole line of defense."
That's all I know. And flag your carrier now but keep the phone active if you want to find it.

Get a No Cost Phone Number Scan at https://biturl.im/aU1YH
Its a good way to start. The place lets you to do a no cost phone scan simply to find out if any telephone data is there. This basic alalysis is done without cost. For a full detailed report its a modest payment.
Here's Reverse / Whose Number Lookup page. If you're talking about cell phones, you usually have to pay for that. I've had pretty good luck just using Google a phone number to find out who's calling. If you are researching a quantity of numbers, though, I suppose, you might want a service. I can't imagine why the average person would need to research a quantity of numbers, though, so I assume this is business-related, and it then seems only fair that you pay for a service. But maybe it's not.

This is the best option for a reverse phone number lookup https://tr.im/721a7
Receiving a one or two hang up calls each month is probably nothing to worry about, but when those calls increase in frequency and if it happens in the middle of the night then you must do something to stop it, before it starts affecting your life. With the help of this services you can take away the one advantage these people have - their anonymity.

If you put a security app on your phone then log in to their website and track your phone from there. If not I would have it deactivated and then go buy another phone.
