Stolen iPhone xr

Hi I have just changed my phone so restored my XR to factory settings. The phone has since disappeared before I could sell it. Can I block the device using the IMEI number?

Can I safely remove a stolen iPhone from my Apple account without FindMy? My old iPhone 13 was stolen. It is out of warranty, had wifi access only but had my apps/passwords etc. It was passcode and Face ID protected, no cell service. No FindMy activated, cannot lock/erase it. Still listed on my Apple account. Can I safely remove it from my account? Not sure if there is a security issue either way. It is still listed as a trusted device for Apple account notifications and I can’t seem to change that. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

you can't but your carrier can

in some countries when one reports a device stolen the police will have all carriers in the country ban the IMEI from operation.
