    Welcome to the Apple Community.

     

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.

     

    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

     

    However if you had enabled it, you could find it from another device.
