Learn more about how use the Find My App. If the phone is out of power you cannot find it


Find My - Official Apple Support 


Then look at this Apple article and my additional advice below it: 


If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support (UK) 


Tracking lost or stolen phones 


The 'Find My' tracking is to help you discover if you left your phone in the office or the restaurant. Lost or Stolen phones are rarely ever seen again. They are often processed invisibly by organised crime gangs. 


Risk mitigation 


Get your provider to:-


Cancel your SIM. 


Send you a replacement SIM on same number. 


You can then put the SIM in another iPhone to get the codes you will need. 


Phishing warning 


It’s possible for a thief to obtain your phone number particularly if you did not have a PIN set on the SIM.  So do not respond to texts askimg you to sign into your account to get your phone back! They are NOT from Apple.  


Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support 


Resign to the fact that if you had a passcode set and you do not provide your Apple ID via phishing texts then your data is inaccessible by anyone else but you may never see the phone again.
