I lost my phone with a taxi driver yesterday morning and it does not have a SIM card and it is not connected to a Wi-Fi network. It is my phone. I have all the information inside it. WhatsApp, Telegram, Apple ID, and Screen Look. I have any information you need to provide you with. I cannot access the site. Can Apple connect me to the site without connecting to the Internet or send a message to the phone to return it to me and provide a financial sum for it?

If it has no cellular data connection, and no Wi-Fi connection,
- It won't be able to use the main method of reporting its location (via Find My)
- It won't be able to learn that it is Lost, and display whatever message you provided when you marked it as Lost
until it comes online. (Be careful about whatever message you tell it to display – just in case your phone falls into the hands of criminals, and it is they who see the message when they try to "make your phone their own.")
If you are very lucky, it may come within Bluetooth range of another Apple device, which might help it to report its location (Find My Network).
Your best bet of getting it back is probably simply to contact the taxi company, tell them that you lost your phone, and give them whatever information you can that would help them to identify the particular cab you took. Maybe you will get lucky and someone won't find it and steal it before the taxi company has a chance to locate it, and to return it to you.
