Is this AirTag currently with you? ... or within Bluetooth range (~30-40') of your iPhone? If not, it will rely on using Apple's Find My Network to transmit its ID to a nearby iPhone that has an active Internet connection. That phone will relay, both the tag's ID & the phone's GPS location, over the Internet to the Apple servers. This is where you would find the tag's location with the Find My app on your phone.
