up to you want you want to do, the chap above can do it, or you can try for yourself. Personally and absolutly no discredit is ment by this, id try it again, purely from an education point of view, feels much beter when you get something right yourself
um as for speaking to them, you can tell them whatever you like, personally in your situation i would say i got this somewhere else, your working abroad just now and you had to reset it, and its coming up with some funny message, youve never seen this before so youve just followed the directions,
Remember, your an average user and youve never heard of XDA dev
na seriously, when i did mine it was over the phone and they said no they stopped doing it, i kicked up a **** storm with them, playing Mr innocent average jo, and took it to their boss, and amazingly an email dropped in my inbox with a key 30 seconds later, other people have had no bother at all, it really is just luck who you talk too,
souljaboy: Check your PM inbox.
i would have left the title and original post, it aids other folk when/if they do searches, now its just an out of context conversation.
i simply called windows and they gave me a key i didnt even have to tell them if i had an hd2 or hd7 they never ask i simply told them i had a htc and in 2 mins i had my own key

i guess i did a warranty job and the phone got sent to my old adress and thing is i dont live there anymore and i told them so they refunded me momney so i wouldnt have to pay them back and they sent me another phone for free. anyways i go back to my old house just to say hi to friends and stuff and i see that my phone that they sent was there its a 8525 so now i have an extra 8525 can they track it down if i use it ?
They could if they really wanted to. But do you think they'll go through all that trouble just for you ? lol Doubt it...

So you ordered a phone, and initially thought it never came. Then you called and said, "Hey, where's that phone?" They said, "Sorry. We'll send another one."
Now you are basically saying, "Thanks AT&T for being so helpful and sending me a replacement phone. Now that you were so helpful, I will keep both phones and really give you the shaft for being honest."
Having two phones, you now wonder if you can get in trouble. Well, let me put it this way: if AT&T was to find out you have both phones, they might think you lied to them in an attempt to steal a phone from them. Most people and most businesses wouldn't respond too well to this.
The ethical thing to do is exactly what your question asks when reading between the lines: Should I keep what doesn't belong to me?
If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.
Whatever...I worked for at&t for a year...nothing ethical about that company. I say keep it and be happy.
Answer is yes they could find out whos SIM is in the phone with that IMEI... Unless you use that program floating around and change the IMEI haha.

"More like a wat if"?
Strange, because you've offered to sell this phone to another member here already. You might want to get your story straight before Mark comes knocking on your door looking for his "kickback".
Isn't that like stealing more than half a thousand dollars?
I mean, Don't get me wrong, but you could let them know you moved, so they can send the phone to the right place.

You're probably right. But at the same time, is it worth the trouble and worry? Even if AT&T isn't ethical, does that mean you shouldn't? It's all about how you want to live your life.
Found a G1 the other day and left it on for the owner to call em to get the phone back. Lost phones before, I know how annoying it was, but the owner hasnt called in 2 days so im assuming they dont want it.
That said, they will more than likely call and block this phone, if they do, is there any way I can get it working again?
Thanks for your help.
swap sim cards
I dont think Tmobile blocks stolen phones from the network. (I didn't check to see if you were in the US or not)
I've lost a phone in the past and asked if Tmob could block the phone from their network and they say its not possible.
If you want to be more proactive, open up gmail and send yourself an email, then you'll have the owner's address and then send him an email. Hopefully he'll give you a small reward for your trouble and kindness.
I don't understand why you couldn't more proactively look through his/her contacts and call 'Home' or 'Mom' or 'Dad' etc??

I was just saying that I haven't met many with mom or dad in their phone listed as mom or dad.
Either way have you thought of calling 611?
I agree. I have no "mom", "dad", "sister", "home" etc. In my phone book. Closest thing I have is "aunt ----" haha. It is easy to text anyone from the inbox and say "hey I found this phone how do I contact the owner?" -simple isn't it?
I am 31, and have 'Mum' in my phone...
I have Mom and Dad in my phone and I'm 28. Never really seen a reason to change it. When I talk to them I call them Mom and Dad so thats how they are listed in my phone book.
As for the lost phone you could have easily taken it into a T-mobile store or called T-mobile customer care. Sounds like you wanted to keep the phone and to make yourself feel better you waited a whole 2 days. Loosing your phone sucks I would try and be more proactive about finding the owner.
Most lost phones never reach there owner and i would say if the sim is still active the owner hasnt reported it to tmob. if it has been disabled then i would say they will have most likely have claimed on there insurance so i would give it another 2 days (4 in total) look through the contacts and see if you an find anything that relates to a family member and call them to find the owner.
by this time you should have spoken to the owner and with any luck he will haev an insurance replacement and say you can have the phone for £25 or so ( the insurance excess) or at least if i lost my phone and had a replacement via insurance and then was told someone had found it i would try and make a deal with them.
I don't have mom and dad listed as I call them but by their proper names.
Closest I have are aunt and uncle so and so.
My phone is also locked with contact info displayed that doesn't include the cell in question. Now if only I could get a Google Voice acct.

I am 32 and have Mom and Dad listings in my phone, I also have my grandparents listed as (get this) Grandparents.
Because... get this, they are my mom, dad, and grandparents. My dad is not Daniel to me, even though that is his name, he is my dad.
Outcome?
Hope to see the outcome, LOL, wanted to see the person reaction when he had his phone returned to him. Please update us, thank you
Can I have my phone back now?
A whole two days is a lot more than what thousands of other people would have done. I could go to a t mobile store after I work all week, like I have nothing better to do, but for what? the guy behind the counter to say yes sir, il get this right back to him, and put it in his pocket?
IMO the guy had 2 days to ring me, he didnt, he dosnt want the phone so my question was, am I going to be able to use it normally or is it as good as a brick?
I think you should be able to use it, however, if it is as good as a brick let me know I may buy it off of you for a small price. I need a development phone that isn't my primary device.
Wow. There is a good amount of flimsy moral rationalization going on in this thread.
ok so i ''bought'' magicall from some ''non-torrent'' website and it appears i have version 2.x(the only working cr4ck that i found haha)
so anyway i have this problem, i have some girls that i chat with (wont go into detail) and my girlfriend hates it when i talk to other girls so i want to block text(sms) messages from some of them but i have tried to do this but it just would not work...I will put some screenshots here to show what I did in the setup and hope you guys can tell me why it is not working =O
so to summarize what I want :
1.I want to block SMS/TEXT messages
2.they have to be deleted and not show up(i don't care if i cant read them)
3.it has to happen SILENTLY(or as much as possible)
4.it has to happen everyday all day long until i turn it off(I don't get the last part of the program where you can enter a time from till ...do i type 0.01 till 23.59?)
if any1 could help id love you to death(no homo)

So why don´t You get Yourself an Iphone Crap4 and get Your hacked sw there ? It´s one thing that You pay 400 bucks for a phone (nobody forced You though with a gun to Your head) it´s sumthin completely different to install cracked sw. The Dev-People have to live on it and invest much time in dev. So You better shut up an f*** off.

Just take it into a Sprint store. They will help you. Why haven't you called them yet? Of course they're going to verify that you own it, so if that's an issue, GOOD LUCK.....of course you should turn it in to sprint so they can return it to its owner.
Seems a little odd that a Sprint customer having such an issue with their phone wouldn't have tried them first. You have 2 posts, so one could deduce that you don't follow the forum.

Of course, we do thank you for understanding who the leader of smartphone forums are. And since you stated that you've asked the question several times previously, and only have 2 posts, I assume this isn't your first forum you've visited with such an issue.
I had someone once who couldn't 'remember' "their" laptops boot password, and based on the fact they had to ask, I didn't think for one second about not mentioning that wiping the bios would do it. The story then changed to 'oh I just bought it from a pawn shop', but having dealt with pawn shops before, one would already know that they're not going to take in a machine with even the OS password'd, let alone the BOOT!

Ha, NOT locking your phone makes you end up like this guy! If you have a lock, no matter how talented of a drunk one may be, they're not getting past your 'lock'.
Now an unlocked phone can have one put onto it, as stated by the OP
You might as well just reset the wipe the phone. That is exactly what Sprint will tell you to do. Or try to request your gmail password.

Try and trace the owner or hand it in would be a good start.
Trace the owner, and if you cannot find them, hand it in to the nearest police station to where you found it.
Alternatively contact the carrier who can trace the sim number or mobile number of the phone and find the owner.
keep it, if you drop yours you have a spare one ,
unless the owner calls the phone. than you can give it back >.>
If you dont hand it in you will probably find the IMEI gets blocked by the carrier when it gets reported missing, so wont be of much use as a phone anyway.
Hand it in, if it was your phone I am sure you would wish for the same.
shouldn't be too hard to trace the owner, so do it.
If you can turn WiFi and gps on and leave the phone powered on (Samsung dive) else turn it in.
Step 1: Check the call log and call one of the numbers the person dials often. That's sure to be a friend/family member of the person.
Step 2: Tell them you found the phone and let them put you in touch with the owner.
Step 3: Return the phone to its rightful owner.
Step 4: Enjoy the boost in Karma.
The owner uses Samsung Dive and is tracking you right now. It's a guy, he's 6'4," 250lbs, and read this thread on XDA. Now what are you going to do
I don't understand the question. Is that just me?
There's only 1 thing to do, and that's ring someone (as suggested above) and return it to its rightful owner.
Edit: Alternatively, check the email address of the owner and get in touch with them that way.

What ever you do, never hand it to the police. it will end with them. This should be the last option If all the others don't work. Better it ends with the rightful owner as first option or you as last but one option.
What would you do if you found 5000 dollars on the floor? Hand it to the police? If you can't trace it, they can't.

I dont think you can call the guy a thief, he found the phone, did not steal it from anybody.

I agree with OrionCarl in this case. Just because you find something doesn't mean it doesn't belong to someone else. Keeping it when you know that it does is the equivalent of stealing it.
Cool story bro!
if you can access the phone check for a HOME number, alternatively check the phones own number and contact the provider and report it...
