Hi there 👋 and welcome.
I'm really sorry, and I can't even imagine how stressful this is..
However if Offline finding is enabled, your Galaxy is detectable as long as it's turned on - even when mobile data is disconnected. There's also possibility that someone who find the phone might removed sim card or keep it turned off as last location was on 28th October. You can turn on lost mode, try to contact you local authorities, or if it was covered by insurance you should contact them.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I did indeed enabled offline finding and even installed google find my device app. I just don’t know why it’s not able to even try. Also the phone rings that means my number is still inside it. Smartfind is able to find my tab or galaxy watch even when they both are turned off, but isn’t even trying to locate the phone.

If it was stolen then I suggest to reach out to local authorities also if it was insured you should make a claim as stolen device.

Is there any chance you can track the location?
