Q: My Iphone was stolen and my find my Iphone is turned off help?

I do not have my iCloud turned on which means I cannot use Find my iPhone. Does anyone have any other ideas for me to try and locate it?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.2

    Without Find my iPhone there is no way to remotely track or erase the phone. You would need to look for it In person.  If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

    If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your missing device

    If you didn't turn on Find My iPhone before your device was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate your device. However, you can use these steps to help protect your data:

    1. Change your Apple ID password. By changing your Apple ID password you can prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your missing device.
    2. Change the passwords for other internet accounts on your device. This could include email accounts, Facebook, or Twitter.
    3. Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement. Law enforcement might request the serial number of your device. Find your serial number:
      • On the original box or receipt
      • On My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) if you registered your device with your Apple ID
    4. Report your lost or stolen device to your wireless carrier. Your carrier can disable the account, preventing phone calls, texts, and data use.
