Is it legal to use a blacklist Iphone?

I accidentally bought a blacklist Iphone 5 (I think it might be stolen). Can I use it legally if I just use it as a mp3 or an electrical device without making phone calls? Do phone carriers or polices know if I keep the phone in my hand?

If you think it is stolen you should hand it in to the police.

  • Which characters can I use in my legal name? I want to change my legal name. It won't be anything ridiculous like "iphone" or "1973" etc. But I do want it to contain special characters, for example… Etc What is my limit on what can be used? I can't find a guide ANYWHERE. I'll be changing my first and last name, and adding a middle name. This will be for cultural/society reasons. Hoping for good news.
