My mum works at a school and, of course, they collect phones over the years that have been lost and never picked up. It's been a while, so they're going to throw away the ones from students they know will have graduated already/phones that are broken. However, they gave a bag of them to my mum to look through and check, and there was a iPhone in there.
We don't actually have a phone plan that would allow us to even use an iPhone, but we were wondering: would she be able to use it as an iPod or something? Not a phone, not a text messenger, not for the Internet, but just for music or pictures or videos or whatever? Again, nothing AT All about it being a phone, but just a media device?
Bigger question, is that even legal? Can she just keep it, or should she let her school chuck it? I tried to look this up, but the answers weren't satisfactory.
So, can she keep the iPhone as a media device (NOT a phone), is it legal, or should we just have the school toss it all?
The only reason I'm asking is because my brother made the comment that they could track the phone if we turned it on, and I still can't tell if he's teasing or being serious, and I don't want to accidentally get us in trouble.
