Unblocking a phone?

Question

I found a phone recently on a bus and want to keep it but think its been reported as stolen and so its blocked. How can i get it unblocked so i can use it?

Also i don't mean the networks blocked, it accepts my sim, wanna know how to get the actual phone unblocked?

Answer 1

If you take it to a market the have stalls there that unlock phones but i think thats only so you can put any sim in it.

I think if the phone is block you can't unlock it but not to sure.

And also finders keepers!

Answer 2

The probability is that you will be charged with Theft if you try to unblock it.  There is a 'fail safe' in all mobile phones now so that people like you are caught and prosecuted under the Theft Act.  Turn it in to the Police before they pick you up.

Answer 3

why not do the right thing and return it to its rightful owner. It would be easier to get your own phone, and you ( and the phone's owner will feel warm and fuzzy inside) Just think if it was your missing phone. What would you want to happen?

Answer 4

You can return the phone, any network can identify the owner through the Imei or sim card number call the netwok it registered to and return it.......and you can tell by the sim card which network its on - probably some kids phone

Answer 5

you can do it right online....just google...unlock cellphone, its will cost you a little, but its worth it....since you can not go and have it unlock by the provider for free!!

Answer 6

u kept a phone? u r mean

Answer 7

Think Karma, what go's around comes around. You should return it to the bus depot.

You could also take of the battery and look at the serial number, The IMI number underneath the bar code will trace the owner if you call up the network provider of that phone. You will know which network it belongs to by looking at the Sim card that came with it, or the logo on the phone.

Just do the right thing.

Answer 8

It's not your phone. What if someone found your phone with all your contacts and info on it? Im sure you would want them to keep it huh? Turn the phone in. The bus company may have a lost and found or take it to a police station. Its not your phone. You don't deserve the phone. Give it up and go buy your own phone.
