Yesterday i went to the park and i found a 2g iPhone. I didnt know what to do because was a message about disable or something. I connected to the itunes and i reset the iphone and install the new version of 2.1, but when i check the sim car was a T mobile sim card and itunes is asking me for an T&T sim card to activad the phone.
I think the owner unlock the phone. I was trying to activade with my cuzin sim card but in the last step i need his ssn. I dont know what to do????? can i buy a at&t sim card and activade the phone that will work??? how can i use the iphone just like the itouch???? can i get in trouble?????:apple:

Why don't you try to return it!
No iPhone user in this forum is going to help you use an iPhone you "just found".

Maybe you should have taken the iPhone to a Koban or the Apple Store to find its original owner. In the end, if nobody claimed it (likely because it was unlocked) apple could have reset it and given it to you. I believe that happened to somebody.

Why didn't you just see if you can find a contact on it and give them a call? Chances are someone will know whos phone it was. I have done this in the past, there was a phone found on a side walk. I called the contact "Mom" and sure enough they got their phone back.

You should take it to the closest apple store or AT&T.

No one here is going to help you, unless you want help finding the rightful owner. If you don't plan on trying that, buhbye.

You should be spending your effort finding out who's phone it is rather than how you can use it.

Maybe he stole it because he is hell bent on using it instead of turning it in.

Here's what you should do:
1 - Take the iPhone to an Apple or AT&T store so they can find the original owner.
2- Go back the seventh grade english so that you can string a full sentence together.

huh? Can't you just restore the iPhone with iTunes and jailbreak it/unlock it again? After that just use any T-Mobile/ATT sim cards
