Hello Scotify14,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. Using only the phone number to locate a lost iPhone is unavailable. If you and your girlfriend are in the same Family Sharing group, you can attempt to locate the iPhone in Find My. Here's how:


Find your Apple device or AirTag
1. Open Find My.
2. Choose Devices or Items.
3. Select your lost device or item to find it on a map. If you belong to a Family Sharing group, you can also find your family members' devices or shared items.
* Choose Directions to open its location in Maps.
* If you're close, tap Play Sound.
* If your iPhone has Ultra Wideband, you might be able to tap Find Nearby to show the distance and direction to your AirTag or AirPods Pro (2nd generation).

Find a nearby AirTag

If you don't have an Apple device to use Find My, find your devices at iCloud.com/find.

That information is outlined in this article: Find your lost Apple device or AirTag with Find My - Apple Support


Best regards.
