Blocking a stolen iPhone 16 Pro Max without iCloud

Hello, please can someone help me. My phone 16 pro max was stolen just couple days ago and in the phone was no iCloud but all my information was inside. I have a box and bill that I bought it. Is it possible to block my phone so no one can use my phone? I was trying to contact Apple but I couldn’t get help

Because I didn’t have that time iCloud inside the mobile I just remove it to put another one but it was stolen already

That's unfortunate, but without Find My enabled on the phone before it was stolen, there is nothing you can do. I hope you at least had a passcode on the phone? Without a passcode, the thieves, will have the ability to wipe the phone for themself or to sell it.


What you can do is contact your carrier and ask them to Blacklist the phone so it can't connect to cellular.
