Stolen iPhone xr

Hi I have just changed my phone so restored my XR to factory settings. The phone has since disappeared before I could sell it. Can I block the device using the IMEI number?

you can't but your carrier can

in some countries when one reports a device stolen the police will have all carriers in the country ban the IMEI from operation.
