You should also contact your service provider, to get them to 1. turn off the service so you don't get a crazy large bill should someone find it and 2. log into any account you accessed or set up for that phone and change all the passwords. Before someone access them on you.

As above there isn't really anything you can do. Report it missing/stolen to your provider so they can possibly track it or not allow it on the cell towers. But unless you put a program on it that allows you to track it or email you a pic of whomever is using it there isn't really anything you can do.

About all you can do is dial it from another phone and walk around and listen for its ring. In the house, in the car (I found my wife's once that way) or in the last few places you were before you noticed it missing. Even in public places if it mat have fallen between cushions in chair, booths, etc.

Additionally, if someone answers it you'll know not to look any further if they are not willing to return it to you. I would advise against meeting them someplace to recover it unless it is a very public place with many people around.
