Hi - I found a Motorola t731C on the Subway. The owner has disconnected the
service. I can't figure out how else to identify the owner, so...can I use
this phone with another carier (it has a Telus sticker on the front)? Can I
use it with Telus under another account?

Thanks.

Think seriously about handing it in to the local police office, why
was the phone 'lost' - perhaps it belonged to the victim of a crime,
and the 'perps' threw the phone away because it was a link to the
crime if ever they were caught? Now, if you sign on with it........
just a thought, if you hand it in and it's unclaimed then perhaps you
then have a right to keep it?

Please reply to the newsgroup - it's not my email address in the header!!

Hmmmmm, i always thought that you couldn't use a found phone unless you
worked something out with the carrier. But i guess if it's just
disconnected then u can just reconnect. I don't know if you can use it
with a different carrier, but you can use it under another account with
Telus. Hope this helps some.

If other service is available for using mobile by another user without owner permission than you can use that.
