How to erase my stolen iPhone?

It's an iPhone 4s with iOS 9 and it was stolen a week ago and must be powered off because it's been unfindable and offline ever since.

I need to find out how I can erase it before they manage to access it. It's not in my Find my.

Since FMI is off, there's not much you can do. If there was a valid SIM card in the 4S, call the network and get it blacklisted. This is so that no one can use it to call/mobile data/etc. Other than that call the authorities and tell them the serial number. You can find it by -

  1. Logging in to https://www.mysupport.apple.com with the Apple ID you used on the 4S and the serial number should be there
  2. Looking on the original receipt or box of the phone if you still have it

Try and get the network provider to give you locations/etc. if the SIM ever goes back online. They could've taken it out but chances are it's your phone they're trying to access.
