If Find My iPhone is turned off, you no longer have access to the device. If you had a passcode on the device, the thief will have to restore it to remove the passcode, which will wipe all of the content, but with Find My iPhone off, they will be able to restore it and use it themselves. Report it to your carrier to disable the SIM, and see if they provide blacklisting services.
