Then your only option is to look for it the old fashioned, trace your steps way. To track a lost iPhone the following must all be true:


  1. Find my MUST have been enabled before the phone went missing
  2. The phone must be powered on
  3. The phone must be connected to a network


Since you didn't enable Find My before the phone went missing, it can't be tracked.
