lost second old iphone

I have a new iPhone that replaced my old iPhone 7 and I still use the iPhone 7 for Internet but not it has no Sim card in it and I don’t believe find my is activated on it it’s in my apartment somewhere I believe or I could’ve went out in the trash And shelves up in the iCloud along with my new one as an authorized device it also shows up on the other website and my phone I use Find My but it just doesn’t give a location for GPS at all my other windows because I turned on Find My OK


I just wondered if the phone is dead and Turned off probably and has no Sim card and find my not activated on it is there anyway I can find it is there an app or a method I’ve been scouring the blog here in the Internet some of that says I can stop at a couple people say I can’t but it shows up on my phone and it shows up when I sign into iCloud.com on the browser but like I said it probably turned off has no Sim card and find my is probably not turned on but it shows up in the Find My app on my phone it’s just doesn’t show up on GPS or anything it can’t be found I didn’t know if there was any way I could recover it


The reason it’s kind of important is because of the my new phone here is smashed and it’s malfunctioning and I kind a need it if anybody could help with a straight answer I’ve just I should just keep looking when I lose this phone I just ask Siri who responds Which is terribly convenient but I turned on all the location applications all the everything basically it is online all the security features turned off find my has no issues finding this phone Which is terribly convenient but I turned on all the location applications all the everything basically it is online all the security features turned off find my has no issues finding this phone.

To use Find My to locate a phone, the following things must be true:


Find My must be enabled on the phone.....before.....it was lost. If Find My is not enabled, the phone cannot be located online.


The phone must be powered on with the battery in good condition


The phone must have a connection to the Internet. Since you do not have a SIM card in the phone, the only way that it can connect to the Internet is over a good Wi-Fi connection.


If you see a "No Device Found" message, Find My was not enabled on the phone.


Your only option at this point is to physically look for the phone.
