I've lost my Iphone 8.
The "find my phone" appt was not on.
At the same time, I've changed carriers.
When I go to "find my phone" and select "all"
I don't see the lost phone on the list.
Does this mean the current carrier has already erased the data?
I do have the serial # and IME number.
Could I be using any of those to confirm my data is removed from the lost/stolen phone?

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
Unfortunately, if Find My was not enabled on the phone, then you are not going to be able to locate the device on a map or find it when you select "Find My Phone".
Does this mean the current carrier has already erased the data?
No
I do have the serial # and IME number.
You may need that info when you call your carrier and ask them to blacklist your phone, which will disable your phone service on the device.

No
Hopefully, you were using a passcode on your phone so no one else can access the data on your phone.
