I got an iphone 5. Found out it was stolen what should I do?

I traded my ps3 for an iphone 5 but I found out it was stolen. I got a SIM card I gave the imei number and they told me its on tha black list or block list what is that? Can't I just activate the SIM card and put it on the iphone? If not then what can I do with the iphone?

If it was me I would return the phone (if it's a sprint phone to to an original sprint dealer), or you can unlock the phone and use it with a different carrier.PS I would notify the police.

If your in PA ill trade a ps3 and my iphone 4s for it.
email me
