I found Iphone, anyway to call last person?

abceire

I found an iphone on the street near my house, it has a pin code, is there anyway to find the last person they rang and tell them to tell the person who's phone it is where I live?

no, just wait for someone to call the phone. Presumably the owner will when they discover it's missing

Keep it charged as they'll probably use Find My iPhone. Also try getting the serial number from the back and their network about it.

The network doesn't need serial numbers, they want IMEI.. Which is in the phone settings.. As is the serial number

Could always use a paper clip and put the sim in your phone and see if there's any contacts on that

Hand it into the local Garda station? No point faffing about otherwise.

Fair play OP may all of the good karma flow your way! Not many people left who would be so honest. Hopefully it finds it way to its owner.

Guards only hold it for a little while then it's given away...

Nope. They're obliged to hold onto found property for a year and a day. Application then made to the courts if it remains unclaimed and some with profits to the exchequer

OP did you try holding down the home button to see if it activates Siri. You could then use it to call Home,Mam,dad.

Might be worth a shot

The owner rang and I gave my address, it was a girl in her late teens or early twenties. She was delighted. Oh and gave me 20 euro for my finding. I was happy too!
I found one in Trinity too on steps, walking to the security hut I saw a lady who'd been sitting near me on the steps running back towards me, I'd found her iphone too. She was so happy, and it felt good to see her so happy.

I found one too and handed it over to a girl that left it in the bathroom at work.

Found a bottle of wine on my desk

it will go straight into the garda's pocket if you do that. I know someone who goes out with a garda she gets all sorts of free stuff. it would make u sick.

Yawns

The amount of iPhones that used to be found in the toilets of the pubs I worked in. Any that got handed in to the bar usually made it back to their owner but it's amazing how many people would spend so much on a phone and be so careless with it. One or two would be understandable but I'm talking about 2 - 3 phones handed in to the bar on a monthly basis. How many don't make it to the bar or owner tho.

Fair play OP for making sure it got back to it's owner.

Ah come on now, I know they bring home booze and fireworks, not heard phones etc though.
