found a iphone says no sim

[rollinv4l]

I am just wondering today i found a iphone 3g that says no sim, I am just wondering can i still use this as a ipod and not a phone.

Thank you:

[KuruptEX]

i would turn that phone into the apple store so they can trace down the owner using the serial number.

[rollinv4l]

the phone is from someone in ontario, if it was from someone in calgary i would give it back

[Joe-G]

Jailbreak and unlock it...

[Team_Mclaren]

jailbreak that shit and use it as an ipod. thats what i did with my iphone 2g

[kvg]

Ransom it. Lol

they most likely got a 4g ipod and no longer need a 3g jail break it and use it

[spike98]

Return it to the owner. Period. Call some numbers in the phone if there are some. Contacts like "home" "mom" or "dominatrix" are good places to start.

You can also connect to wifi somewhere and see if there facebook account is still logged in. Find the name and send em a messege.

Open the email app to get the persons email address.

At any rate, its unacceptable for you to just keep it. Period. Its not yours, you never paid for it, and should not treat it as such.

If you want an ipod, get a fucking job and buy one.

Give the person thier god damn phone back. Get some good karma.

fuck it. they're from Ontario. they're probably an asshole anyway. :rofl:

[CapnCrunch]

Lol are you seriously going to keep it?

How about you pretend you're a good human being for one day and actually try to get it returned to the owner? I know if I lost my phone, I'd be pretty happy to get it back.

[msommers]

^:rofl:

Try to get ahold of them and see if they'll pay to have it shipped out there. If they don't care, well then jailbreak that shit.

[sputnik]

Hopefully they don't backtrace you if you choose to keep it.

why even ask? you didnt even try and load some songs onto it to find out?

ridiculars...

[interlude]

Just remember Karma.

One day you will lose something double its value, and they wont return it.

[rollinv4l]

man i have found $3,000 cash once and returned it and i didn't even see a penny from that so now that makes me think twice on giveing shit back, hell if i lost $3,000 i would atleast give the guy a few hundred dollars.

That's some cheap ass. I think a good policy is to gift half the value of whatever was returned.

lol. You shouldn't return something hoping for a reward...

Just before Christmas I found an Iphone in the snow at a home depot parking lot. The phone was dead so I took it home and charged it up. Called the guy the next day and returned it to his girlfriend.

He called me later that evening and expressed how thankful he was that I returned it. That's all I wanted... He continually insisted he at least wanted to buy us a nice bottle of wine and I finally agreed. Said he would call me the next day... never heard from him again.

In the end, I'm still happy and was happy to get it back to the owner.

Karma dude, hear it coming? I for one will not be doing any buying or selling with you in the future, I do not trust you if you do indeed keep the iPhone.

That is what you base your honesty bar upon? You are a cheap soul to buy. I agree a little reward was justified, when you do the right thing something good will come along.

[gqmw]

Lol I like how so many of you are trying to act all righteous when in reality a lot of you would probably keep it if you were in this position, you just wouldn't post it on a car forum.

Returning it is definitely the right thing to do, but I can understand where the op is coming from. If the original owner is from ontario, it definitely would be a bit of a hassle to get it back to him.

[Guillermo]

LOL

you have to be pretty fuckin' hard up to essentially steal someones iPhone so that you can use it as an iPod... that's pretty fucking ghetto. i bet most of the stealing proponents are from the NE (defined as anything north of dover :rofl: ).

[Isaiah]

I personally don't buy the "no sim" business. Unless it appeared after you removed the sim card yourself. I don't see a lost iphone just puking up its sim card in the hopes that some skinny, greedy, ghetto, popped collar, gangster wannabe will find it and want to use it as an ipod.

You are speaking for yourself, you are the only one who can. So, do not pretend to know another person, how can you? We all live with the actions we personally make, make your bed, sleep in it and reap the rewards.

My thoughts exactly. How do you know its an ontario phone? Did it have a number?

[Guillermo]

yea, i really don't see someone removing their sim card right before they happen to lose their iPhone...

Once again, you are the minority here in regards to your opinion. This is in regards to a previous poster commenting on your post.

Just because you think you'd rather keep it, doesn't mean the rest of us are. And a hassle because he is from Ontario? sure I won't go out of my way in planning on how he can get his phone back, nor would I fork out my own money. But the least you can do is contact him, and maybe he can think of something that would only cost you a bit of your time to help someone out.

As for the OP, wow, you expect a reward for returning something? thats just brutal man. Sure it might be a hassle, but knowing you helped someone out is much better than keeping that iphone.

Just this winter, I went to eat at the subway across from the library, and this guy forgot his wallet. I recognized his face from the library, so I took it instead of leaving it at subway. I walked all around the library during finals season and looked at each cubicle to find him.

In the end I finally found him, and he appreciated it so much that I returned his wallet. I didn't get a "reward" nor did I expect one.

Improving the quality of a society begins with small things like this and the snowball effect it can create. You're on your own, son.

I didn't say I was going to keep it. I can afford to buy myself an iphone/ipod whatever. As you said, you wouldn't go out of your way or fork out your own money. That's the point I'm making here, none of us know the complete story.

When I say I understand where he's coming from, it's cause none of us are in his situation. You guys all say that you'd do this or that in the situation, but because I'm not in his exact situation I can't 100% say with certainty that I wouldn't just be lazy to return it. I can't see how you guys can either. I understand where he's coming from cause I could certainly be lazy if I were his situation. I wouldn't keep it though cause that'd just make me feel bad for not trying harder to return it...I'd probably just give it to the apple store or lost and found or whatever.

I agree with you guys that the no sim card is quite fishy...I don't see anyone taking out their sim before losing their phone.

And I retract my previous comment about everyone acting "righteous," I guess we do have some good people on beyond. :thumbsup:

[cjay^]

oh hey you found my phone!

karma isn't real guys quit that bullshit lol

I wonder what this thread would look like if all the members from the NE were banned. I'm guessing this guy would already have his phone back.

Really. So, instead of the guy losing $3k, he's only losing $1.5k?

Fucking GenME entitlement bullshit.

$3k.. I had someone fuck up a bank deposit once and deposit 12k into my account. It sat there for a week and a bit before I noticed it. I immediately called the bank and told them what had happened, and ensured it got returned to the owner. It almost came down to me having to write a personal cheque to give the guy his money back. The bank didn't give a crap as everything was done right by them, it was totally the guys fault.

Did I expect a reward? Hell no. I did what was right. Could I have simply kept the money? According to the bank lady, yes.

Doing good things is NOT about hoping for a reward from the recipient of your kindness, it's about hoping that someday, when you're up shit creek, someone will do something kind for you.

So you give back $3000 but you'll keep the Iphone.

So your morals are dependent on the dollar amount then?

[rollinv4l]

no i would give it back if the guy lived here how do i know that the person that i give it to at the store will not keep it.

[spike98]

How do you know that the guy lives in ontario?

Its the guys job to try and return it. If he does keep it, at least YOU did the right thing.

[Singulari]

I really think that all of these posts are unnecessary.
If the OP feels inclined to return the iPhone to the original owner, that is entirely up to him. We can't make decisions for him.

Also, if you have returned $3000 before, it doesn't mean that he is obligated to give you something in return. Maybe it was circumstantial? It might not have been a good situation for the person to give you a small reward for your efforts of returning his assets.

In regards to what Almerick said, you can't perform actions and perceive that you will benefit from doing what is right. If you don't believe in Karma, that is fine by me. I'm also a non-believer. I don't expect anything in return for doing good deeds. That way, you won't be disappointed and you'll also feel good about it.

So is 99% of the internet. Luckily your opinion (or mine for that matter) doesn't mean shit.

That aside, im curious as to why the OP is dodging my questions.

This. I really doubt that everyone who posted that they'd return it would actually go through the hassle of trying to call the guy and then shipping it to Ontario. Either that, or the people who would keep it just kept quiet (which I bet is the majority). If I was to go to Mac Hall tomorrow and drop my iphone 4 somewhere on purpose, I'm almost certain that I would not get it back. Returning it IS the right thing to do, but I really doubt that a majority of the people would actually return it.

Shortly after Christmas, I was up at the Chapter's in Dalhousie. Walking to the store I noticed a girl's huge fucking wallet lying in the snow. Cleaned it up and left it at the front desk of Chapters.

Believe it or not, some people do the right thing because it is the right thing. Not for karma, not for what other people think, not because God will smite you otherwise...whatever your excuse might be. Do it because you're an honest fucking person.

"Hi, police, I found this, please see it gets returned, thank you."

That was HARD.

I found some chick's wallet walking home New Year's morning (the ID was the same name as my retarded roommate, thought I drank way too much when I saw that). I ended up going through the phone book looking at the last name and address, got a phone number, left a message, heard nothing. I drove my ass to another city to return it, not home. Left my number with her roommate, heard nothing. Jesus, so my parents went out and left their number in the mailbox on a note, got a call and then they went out again and returned it. She mumbled something and shut the door but at least it was the right thing to do.

Just admit it that you stole the phone and made lame excuses as to why you can't return it.

I sold my Jetta a few days ago. The guy lives in Vancouver. I found the middle headrest for it this morning. Contacted him, and I'm shipping it at my cost to his house.

So, yes, I'd ship the phone back to someone in Toronto. Wouldn't think twice about it.

Hey Mark - don't trouble yourself, just ship it to me collect. Won't cost you a thing. I guarantee I can find the owner. I am not going to keep it, I already have two. I'll even give you $20 for your trouble. You don't have to put a return address or give your name and I am not concerned with how you got a hold of it. Deal?


After all, it would suck if it was some poor student that wanted their stuff back (http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread.php?threadid=99760&highlight=Im%20a%20poor%20university%20student%20and%20want%20my%20stuff%20back.) .

I'm making the point that I wouldn't hesitate to go out of my way, or incur some cost to simply do what's right. I didn't have to tell the buyer about the headrest. He had no idea it existed. I could have just chucked it and forgotten about it.

[tirebob]

We went to Texas a year ago to visit family. We were cleaning the rental car the day before returning it and found an iPhone in between the seats. Look up phone numbers in the phone and found one that was Mom. Called her up and she was ecstatic because her 14 year old daughter was in tears because she saved alll her babysitting money to buy it and didn't know where she lost it. We got her address and I took it to fed-ex and sent it to her. I even paid for the shipping. She said to send it collect on her company account number but I didn't care because sometimes it is just nice to do the right thing and put a smile on someones face. I never left a home address or phone number because I didn't want them feel any obligation to reciprocate anything our way.

People that expect a reward for doing the right thing remind me of my kids when they think they deserve to get paid for cleaning their own messy rooms up...
