Locating android phone

Question

I lost my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with the corresponding newest Android version that's automatically delivered. I never really used the Google Service so it isn't authorized or whatever.



I do have a WhatsApp Web and Telegram Web Version.



Is there any way, also a techy way, of checking where my phone is? It doesn't have to be very precise.



Can I for an instance use the Telegram Web Session to make an HTTP Request from my phone to some homepage and check the IP using the access log and from that the imprecise location? Does anyone have other ideas?
