[Grammar] Have disappeared or have gone?

Innocent Fairy said:

I'm texting my friend. We have been talking for some time. Then suddenly she stops texting. I want to know if she is still there or has gone out/somewhere.
Can I say " Hey, where have you gone?(OR "where are you") Come on, reply [STRIKE]me[/STRIKE]. I'm waiting"[STRIKE]?[/STRIKE]Or should I say " Hey, where have you disappeared? No, if you disappear you aren't anywhere. Come on, reply [STRIKE]me[/STRIKE]. I'm waiting"[STRIKE]?[/STRIKE]Or something else. I have no idea really as I have never been in an English-speaking country. I wish I could!

Or something else. I have no idea really as I have never been in an English-peaking country. I wish I would!

I would use "Are you still there?" or "Where have you gone?" as my first choices, followed by "Have you vanished?!"

Note that it's "Reply to me" not just "reply me".

Is to compulsory after reply? What if the object is a thing instead of a person? Do we still add to?

That's quite true. But it's common to say, "Where have you disappeared to?" I wouldn't call it wrong, since the meaning is obviously non-literal.
