Can you erase your iphone when its offline using Find my Iphone? Or does it have to be online in order for you to erase it?
I really but really don't know I'm sorry
It must receive a signal so it must be online.
Online.
If the phone was stolen it would inevitably end up online, or it would be erased anyway in order to try to get into it/make it useful (which never works).
No. If it's not connected to a network of any kind it's not going to get the signal to remotely erase. However the instant it does Connect to a network it will get that request and will perform that action. For example if you put an iPhone in lost mode or remote erase using iCloud.com when the phone is connected to a network or is going to a network it will then perform that action.

- Using the IMEI number to find an offline, lost iPhone 5? Hi, I recently had my iPhone 5 stolen, on find my iPhone it will not give me the location because it is offline. I was wondering if there was anyway I could use the IMEI (which I have) to find the location of my iPhone.
- If you update your iPhone 4S to 6.0.1 through Wi-Fi, does it erase all your data? I have updated to 6.0 before on my laptop in iTunes, but strangely it didn't erase all my data, so I didn't have to back up. I didn't see it automatically back up during the process of updating, so I was wondering if it would erase all my iPhone data if I updated it through Wi-Fi. A few months before, when I updated to 5.1.1 it erased all my data. I'm not sure if Apple did anything to 6.0 that made it not erase my data…
