If the phone is offline, you can't track it. Knowing your serial number won't help you.


The only way to track a missing phone is all three of the following must be true:


  1. Find My was turned on
  2. The phone must be powered on
  3. The phone must be connected to a network


If any of the above 3 are not true, you can't track the phone. You have to look for it the old fashioned way, which is to look for it.
