U found an Iphone? WTF hahaha

Hmmm, get AT&T and tell them you are providing the phone.

All you really have to do i sign up for the service
Download Itunes and activate the phone with the service u sign up with.

what do you mean, you can't find the owner? where did you find it? if it was a store, coffee shop, or something, i'm sure the owner checked with the employees there and may have left his/her contact information in case it was turned in to them. and hasn't the owner tried calling the iphone? if i lost mine, i'd be calling my cell number every 2 minutes trying to find out who had it.

i'm sure there's a way you could find the owner, but it doesn't sound like you want to. you won't get any hints from me on how to keep it and make it work for you - i'd be pissed if i lost my iphone and the person who found it wanted to keep it for themselves instead of trying to return it to me. but i guess i can't expect anything more from people nowadays, can i?

it's situations like these where i really hope karma is real and what goes around, comes around...

if it were my iphone i'd be really upset, why not turn it in to att and they can find the owner based on the phone number that the phone has. all they do is look up the bill with that number. its kinda shady to just take someones iphone that they probably are frantically looking for.

Take it to an AT&T store. They will be able to find the owner. Thats the good thing about the iPhone, if a thief tries to activate it, they will get busted. BTW I very seriously doubt anyone has lost an iPhone!!!!!!

Boy you sure are making a bunch of assumptions about this guy... You don't know what's going on... Whatever.

It IS quite possible to lose an iPhone. I lost mine last Sat. night, but got it back within 15 minutes. Piece of junk Case-mate Signature Case came apart where you screw in the remove-able clip, and the phone, w/ the case, fell without me noticing at a parking lot. Got home realized what happened

, so my wife and I drove back, and on the way my wife called my iPhone. A guy that found it answered and waited 'till we got there, gave the guy some cash and thanked him......whew!

So it is possible to find an iPhone, but I also think it's possible to find the owner.
