No. The only way to track or locate it is using find my.
If find my was not enabled, or you were conned into giving a thief the credentials for your account allowing them to remove the activation lock, there is no way to locate it.

Click here for information; in addition, post notices around where it got lost, and if applicable, contact the Lost & Found department of the facility involved.
The wireless carriers generally only track phones through the IMEI as part of the search for a missing person.
A serial number can only be used to check if an already-found phone is yours.
