I lost my Android smartphone. Play Store tells me that someone has inserted a SIM card. How can I find out the phone number?

Question

I lost my Samsung Galaxy S, which was signed into Google Play. Now, Play Store has identified that someone has inserted another SIM card with a different service provider. Is there anyway I can find out the phone number of the inserted SIM?

I think you need to install Plan B. This will help you track it down. — theTuxRacer, Dec 17 '12 at 06:35

@Sid You're wrong. Plan B doesn't require Mobile number just the Google account intact. — roxan, Dec 17 '12 at 15:19

Sorry to see you losing your phone. Have you seen the question "Can I remotely launch an app on my android phone?" in which @jlehenbauer has answered mentioning an app called AndroidLost. You can try this if you are sure you have your lost phone still uses your Google Account.

Sounds like a stolen phone (theft of mislaid property). Report it to the police. In the US, if you have the esn/meid they can compel the carrier to give them all the info about who's using the phone. I'm not sure how these things work in other countries.

If you don't have the IMEI you can probably get it from your carrier, just ask them for it. – Ryan Conrad Jan 20 '13 at 15:37
