Putting service on a found iphone?

So at my work there was an iphone in the lost and found and our policy is if something is not claimed within 2 weeks, one of the workers can claim it. A month passes, and no one claims it so i claim it and have been using it for just apps and Wi-Fi, and am thinking i want to put service on it. If i went to the verizon store and explained it to them do you think i could get service put on it?

Probably, but only if the owner didn't report the phone lost or stolen, in that case the phone would be blacklisted.

LMFAO… No

With iphones, All carriers are bound by an Apple Contract… Iphone Can't be swapped or flashed between carriers… Thats rule#1… Even a wireless agent with down syndrome can dictate that clause! So… If this is an Sprint Iphone, you will get a "HELL NO" from all other carriers… Smae with ATT iphones, TRmobile Iphones, Verizon iphones, and Virgin Mobile Iphones.

NExt… CDMA Global Ready iphones versus GSM Iphones… If this is a CDMA iphone from Sprint or Verizon, and you decide to try and jailbreak and hack it to work on ATT or Tmobile, it will work. Apple itself has blocked CDMA iphones from using USA based GSM carriers.So… Nice try… If this is a GSM Iphone, its stil missing a CDMA radio… Which means… Yep… Not gonna work on Sprint or Verizon…

NEXT… Lost/stolen clause… If the original owner had a brain, this iphone was reported lost and stolen weeks ago. This means only the owner can unsuspend it and give it service. In the mean time, its just a very very very very very EXPENSIVE ipod touch… So… Nice try there too…

People… When you all gonna learn. When you get an iphone, and you pay for it, it will NEVER be yours. You are still bound by an Apple contract. You have no freedom. This is why I anologize Apple to North Korea and Android to the USA
