Found phone

TallGlass

Found a phone around the Dublin 9 near the Spar Collins Ave West.

Contact me via PM if you know who or you own it.

Hi TallGlass. If you drop it into on of the store the the network that it's on they should be able to contact whoever owns it so they can collect it. (Obviously assuming its registered).

Give it into the garda station. They can enter the IMEI into the system and when the owner call its lost/stolen, the system will register it

Often the owner wont know the IMEI, the network is more likely to know the owner of the sim card if not the IMEI.

I have contacted o2 who have e-mailed the owner (used SIM card number), so I will give it a day or two before I hand it into o2/Garda. I just think from experience the phone may go unclaimed and end up in the bin.

The phones pretty much in bad condition from whatever happened to it but I am sure the person would like there SIM card.

We found a phone many years ago and went into the garda station. They wouldn't take it as they said they had tons of them and they are never claimed. We put notices in the lost and found column in the newspaper, we got some replies but nobody managed to described the case, it was very distinctive, it was locked and we never could use it. One of those old dinosaur ones, no camera, just did phone calls and txts. They were simpler times!

Phone returned to owner. Contacted me via phone number from o2.

Glad I returned it too seemed like a genuine gent.

Working in the telecoms industry it's amazing the number of phones getting lost or stolen. I have to say Tallglass, it's great to see someone making a small bout off effort to help a random stranger. Karma and all that go out a buy a lotto ticket!
