You can still use Find My iPhone even if location services are off, but only if the device is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular. Activate 'Lost Mode' at iCloud.com, which attempts to turn on location services remotely. If the device is offline, Find My iPhone will provide the last known location for up to 24 hours. Enable 'Send Last Location' in settings to always send the device's location before the battery runs out.
