Thats nice. If it works good enough to sell then you can get numbers out of it to find the rightful owner.
iPhones do have SIM cards actually. Use a paperclip to eject it and see for yourself. And if you dry it out and charge it its probably good. I have seen many sunken iPhones work flawlessly after. Put it in a bag if rice for a few days.. Works like a charm.
I'm sure the owner has replaced it though
I know I would be lost with out mine.

While this statement is accurate, it is a sad commentary on our society that we feel we need absolute instant access to streaming information.
Believe it or not, life went on just fine before cell phones were ever invented. Solitary moments are now extinct, and that is truly a sad admission to have to make.

I totally agree with anonomoose on this one. Todays electronic dependence has gotten WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY out of control. Kids, adults, everyone, everywhere you go are constantly swiping the screens of these Da$ Phones and Ipods. Just take a look around the next time you are in a shopping mall or sitting in a resturant. We went to Applebees as a family the other night and I just couldnt believe it when you looked around the joint. Husbands with wives, boyfriends with girlfriends, sitting right accross from each other and both of them are'nt paying the least bit of attention to the other. To busy starring at the dam screen on their phone. Facebook!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta let the world know immediately what you just ordered for dinner.
This is a sad, sad world we live in anymore....
I for one am a proud owner of a vintage "flip phone" that only makes phone calls.... Works just fine when I need to make a call, I make one. When someone calls me I answer it.... I dont need to know at a moments notices that "bobby joe, just got home from work and it tired"???? Really people.......

Right on anonomoose/jerkbait!!!! Could'nt agree with you more. Was'nt long ago that while enjoying the awesome U.P. and its solitude any phone calls we made were from a pay phone in Bergland or Ewen !!!

All of the above is why it is being said that the younger generation will not know how to act socially in a personal manner-people will forget how to actually talk to one another, face to face. Going to be alot of intraverted personalities.
So a lost iPhone turns into a trashing of how we are all too connected to our electronics. huh. that was a big swing. Not saying I don't agree. I'm old enough to know what it's like to sent outside and not go home until dark. But the mosquito just wanted to know what to do with the phone they found.

Thank You Zimmbob
Thanks for killing the thread.
It's the path of every thread here
Discuss, wrong info given, then corrected info, someone makes a joke, then the whoa's of society.
And last a Government/media conspiracy theory.
Now we will never know why that phone was planted there.

I give up, what the heck is/are "the whoa's of society"? (Sounds something like Yosemite Sam: "Whoa horse, whoa!")
And while I'm at it, why the apostrophe?
Whoa (singular), whoas (plural), whoa's (possessive); so I should also ask "whoa's what?".
(Since this thread has already been assassinated, what's one more off-topic post?)

Okay...since Nash has approved the hijacking...let me add one more diversion to the original topic of a lost phone....
I have just noticed that "the fine print" in some of the apps being tossed about for phones (NOT mine...I have no web access on my phone cause I am too cheap to pay for it) that if you read them, they have you accepting the ability of the app to access you phone at "any time" and can view your pictures, and your private texts and can further use them as they see "fit".
If this isn't an invasion of your privacy nothing is.....better read what you are agreeing to when you agree to using the apps available.
I'm with you, Moose....I have a "dumb" phone and it's all I want. No use for "apps" for this and "apps" for that. Just let me make calls, send text, and I'm happy. I'm ready for a new one, but they're getting harder and harder to find.
However.....can it be considered an invasion of privacy if the user consents to it?
