With my luck, I found an iphone 4s at a bus stop today. It was inside a broken umbrella. When I brought it home and charged it, it was in recovery mode, so I had no choice but to restore it. The phone has a number and is connected to the sprint network, but doesn't send texts make calls etc, and I haven't received a call from anyone claiming it. Since the phone was restored, will I be able to use it as my own if I buy a plan from sprint?
Added (1). And If I currently can't, what can I do in order to be able to use it with sprint?
Added (2). I didn't have any way to return the phone, it was in recovery mode when I found it.
Added (3). Also turns out, the phone has a bad esn. So if i can't use it with sprint can I use it with another carrier?
