Found cell phone. Just replace SIM card?
I found this really nice cell phone
Do I simply remove the existing SIM card and replace it with own SIM card from my previous phone?
Do cell phones have something similar to a laptop's anti-theft software like CompuTrace or LoJack? I don't want to start using the cell phone and have the cops at my door
Thanks
NOTE:
The new cell phone's SIM card has apparently been canceled by the original owner

Re: Found cell phone. Just replace SIM card?
yeah you can just put in your sim card as long as its on the same network as the phones supposed to be on unless you want to unlock it but thats a whole different story.

You are correct. As long is it's on the same network, your good to go.

Re: Found cell phone. Just replace SIM card?
you got your answers but just for self satisfaction you ought to find a person under their contacts like mom/dad etc and call them up from a different phone letting them know you found their SIM card on the floor somewhere. just a thought.. maybe you'd get some sort of reward.

Re: Found cell phone. Just replace SIM card?
Cell's have a number of different ID numbers.... the IMEI is independent of the sim card, and if the dude who lost the phone asks them to ban that, then the phone will be prettymuch worthless. But that typically is not done, so a sim swap and you're good to go.

Re: Found cell phone. Just replace SIM card?
if the imei gets canceled just take it to some asian cell phone place where they unlock phones, they have a unit that they can plug your phone into to change the imei.

Re: Found cell phone. Just replace SIM card?
youre a dumb fucking nigger, not everyone wants to spend the money on a phone USB cable, nor do they want to spend time learning how to MANUALLY do everything.
if youre not fucking stupid then you take it to someone who has one of these
 '
also its called a Furious Gold box, in case youre an illiterate piece of trash like the guy above me

This GPS fear is a bit too much. It's only reserved for missing cars because GPS tracking works best outdoors
