Q: Using phone while it is in lost mode
Hi there,
If someone stoles my phone while it is offline (like in airplane mode) and I active the Lost mode, will that person be able to use Apple Pay?
I mean the phone won't know that Lost mode has been activated since it is offline.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1

So, you are saying that you did not have a lock screen code on the device that was stolen?
According to this article:
If your iPhone or iPad is lost or stolen
You can go to icloud.com/find or use the Find My iPhone app to suspend or permanently remove the ability to pay from that device with Apple Pay. Your cards will be suspended or removed from Apple Pay even if your device is offline and not connected to a cellular or Wi-Fi network. You can also call your bank to suspend or remove your cards from Apple Pay. Learn more about what to do if your iPhone is lost or stolen.
