How to locate a lost or stolen phone

I am in Ireland so the
Find My Phone. ability to locate your phone on a map isn't available in the following countries/regions: Argentina, China, India, Korea, Peru, and Turkey.
does not apply.
In this thread there is only a request from someone in Laos whose phone cannot be located: Laos is not one of the countries listed above so there is, so far, no answer to it's not being located unless it is, as suggested, that the SIM has been removed.
If removing the SIM also removes the ability to locate the phone then this feature is fairly useless!
HOWEVER
I have no answer in any of the suggested posts to my
Problem: My Phone Windows site can locate my phone but not RING it.
What I have tried:

• I have set up my account exactly as requested in http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/basics/find-a-lost-phone: i.e. Correct number, able to
  accept Short Code messages,
• The feature is listed as available in Ireland
• And I ticked: I authorize Microsoft to send text messages to this number for Find My Phone and Windows Phone Store notifications. I understand that messaging fees may apply.

Now where do I go?

Hi Shahriar,

Step 1: Steps to turn on the Location settings.

• Login as an administrator.

  Change location settings.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
