Verizon 4s found, can i use it?

I'm in a family plan from verizon.currently i have a lg lucid and want to switch to an iphone 4s. The only problem is, the iphone 4s is a phone my sister found. I don't know the details about the phone but is it still possible for me to use it under my plan?

It continually amazes me that questions such as this are asked!

Your sister found a phone that was lost. Shouldn't you be trying to get that lost phone back to it's owner? If you had lost your phone wouldn't you want the person who found it to return it to you? The same thing applies. If you can't find the owner, then take it to a Verizon store and they will.

ALSO, most likely the owner of the phone has realized it is lost and has informed Verizon of this fact. Once that has happened Verizon will LOCK OUT the phone. If you try and activate it Verizon will inform you that the phone was reported lost and can't be activated.

Not legally. It isn't yours.

  • I found a Verizon iPhone4, Can they track it? Okay, so I found a Verizon iPhone 4 at school and its still connected to Verizon (I can still make calls). I have already restored it to factory settings so it Doesn't have the find iphone app or doesn't have a SIM card. Can they track me somehow? And I connected my iTunes account on it and everything as if it was mine. Everything on it is mine except for the phone number…
  • I found a Verizon iPhone 4 but I can't figure out who it belongs to? When I turned it on it goes into setup mode. So I have to assume that someone reset it because it does have a apple Id but I don't know what it is. How can I find out who it belongs to so I can give it back to them? I legitimately want to give it back. I'm part of team #RAK #KCCO. So don't be a dick and say something smart. Please.
