can i erase everything off my stolen iphone without find my iphone ?

[iMore Question]

my iphone was stolen and i have a lot of personal and sensitive information on my phone. i tried calling my carrier to see if there was a way to erase everything off of the iphone remotely. they told me to use find my iphone.. i tried to do this but it doesn't come up so i don't think i had find my iphone enabled on this iphone. is there any way that i can remotely do something so the phone can be completely erased so none of my information gets into the wrong hands ??

Welcome to iMore.

Sorry to hear about your phone. Here is a guide by Apple on how to remotely wipe your device. Unfortunately it looks like you may be out of luck unless you had Find My iPhone. Sorry it isn't better news I have for you.
