OK Ill be the one to tell you what we are all thinking. This sounds quite suspicious. Why didnt the person do it for you or tell you what to do? And why on Earth wouldnt you go to a store...?

Why cant you get the IMEI number. Its on a sticker under the battery! If the sticker isnt there...then definately dont bother keeping hold....

it aint suspicious, i didnt say the person that gave the phone to me was the persont that brought, i said it was given to me the reason why you can't take it to a store is because they can't unlock a personal lock code. An another thing i didn't know that the IMEI number was on the back cingular told me i had to go through the menu to get that. Either way it goes i found how to unlock it, and it is unlock, and i'm using it now and i love it

Heaven forbid you actually act like a decent human being and do the right thing and turn the lost phone in.

What you have done is no better than actually stealing it from the rightful owner directly.

Oh man, this is sad. Someone lost a very good phone. Let me go right into security settings and assign my device a password. Wouldn't want to loose my device and info.

Points learned in this thread:

1) Be careful where you take your berry to.
2) Lock it with a password.
3) Take off IMEI, for good measure.
4) Don't trust this kid with anything, not even your dust specks from your pocket. He can't even buy his own Curve and would willingly steal from others.
