I found an iphone in a parking lot. The sim card is missing. Is there anyway to use the features of the phone (ie not using it as a phone), or is it useless to me.

Why the double post??? You will get the same response you got in the first post. Take it to AT&T so they can return it to it's rightful owner!!! Mark

gee thanks mom for the speech. If you can afford to buy it you can afford to loose it, obviously the owner didn't appreciate the phone.

Wow, there's some logic.

If you returned it to the store, they could most likely get it back to its original owner. If that doesn't interest you at all, I don't really see you getting much help on this forum.

So if your car gets stolen, just cause you bought it means you can go out and get another?
The owner just must not appreciate their car then.

If that makes you feel better about keeping someone else's property. Go right ahead, it will be your bad karma not mine. Some people that have the iPhone are teenagers that saved like crazy to buy their phone. Don't assume that everyone that has one is rich. If you keep it, it just shows how poor you are. Don't be a low life scumbag, retun the phone. Who knows, you may be rewarded for your honesty. Even if no reward, you can at least feel better about yourself as a person for doing the right thing. That is more rewarding, than anything you can be given...Mark

P.S. You will get no help here, in assisting you to keep someone else's property...

Maybe this is just me, but if you have the means to get the phone into the hands of its rightful owner, and you willingly don't do that just because you want to use it.... welp, you dun stole it. Congrats!

If you keep it knowing that it can be returned to the rightful owner. YOU DID STEAL IT THEN!!! Mark
