Which operating system has his phone?

Verizon won't help him to find it.

Both Android a Apple have built in tracking at this point. If you didn't disable it you could probably get it on GPS yourself

you have to dig up the dog

You could try sending suspicious messages to it.(terrorist attack plans) and have the NSA do the recovery.

iemi tracking google it

well ringing does mean its on. If it still rings in a few days or about a week then that means somebody has it and is keeping it charged. That being true, they obviously have no intention of returning it to the owner, so.... Your friend is kind of fucked. There isnt much you can do for a stolen adroid phone. Worst part is, its not hard to wipe and resell.

If it's linked to his google account and the GPS is on, he can just type "where is my phone" into google.

no it means someone keeps it charged and the sim inside.
guess not stolen yet.
if stolen and both statements above true, go to police. in 2 days you have phone.

Here's one of the things which might help https://www.google.com/locationhistory

Otherwise just Google android/iphone/phone maker gps finder or something. Most manufacturers turn that on by default these days.

Assuming that its in a good coverage area tgen they could probably locate it to with about 200m though theyd also have to have pretty good survey data of that area too, which they wouldnt have. Searching an area with a 200m radius, in a city, is impracticle. Short answer: no they cant pin point the location of you phone.
