I'm assuming it's only if you signed up to it (either by contract or at somepoint after buying a pay as you go phone), I know I signed my details over to orange so they'd let me top up by card.

They only have the details you supply to sign up to the contract or when you register a pay as you go phone. It stemmed from the million people who "loose" phones or report them stolen to get a new one. Once reported, the IMEI for the phone - which is individual - is blocked from the networks. Then, in thory at least, the phone cannot be used.

the bike that had been sent in error, isnt mine, its my girlfriend, ive warned her of the consequences of keeping it, and she shiuld think long and hard, and showed her peoples responces, and now its down to her,

the phone, no i didnt know i should hand it to police, especiasly after ive contacted the owner and he said he ddnt want it back, if i couldnt have traced the owner then i would, and the police would have done so, and then destroyed it after he said he didnt want it,

so checkmend is a database that checks serial numbers to see if things have been registered stolen, costs you 1.99 to access,

i wanted to know what i could/couldnt do with it,


weve already established police would prob destroy it and to me thats good money down the drain, the insurance company, what will they do destory it, and im not gonna contact the owner, ask insurance details and send it to them

lol.

Ask the owner nicely to ring back up and unblock it.

Re: what do i do with this? (phone found)
 

Is it not the case that if you hand something in and the police cant trace the owner, or they dont want to collect it, you THEN have a legal claim to it?
