Sorry, you can't turn it on remotely, it can only be turned on on your phone. There only other way to find it is to physically look for it, or try calling your number to see if someone answers.

As far as I know, you need to turn on the "find my iphone" service BEFORE you lose it. There is no way to do it remotely...
