if it is showing off line, that means it is not connected to the internet. You can see if it was enabled by signing into icloud.com and clicking on find my iphone and it will list the devices set up.

Sorry another question. Is it just pot luck that you can locate it if you happen to go into find your phone the same time it's on the internet?

you can set up an alert to notify you when it is back online. Also, the locations are approximate, not exact.

Be sure to enable lost mode. You can then put a message that will show up on the screen with your contact number.
