If you're on T-mobile, they'll give you the unlock code for free. Just call 611 (t-mobile tech) and ask.

Perhaps give it a bit longer? The owner could certainly call.

It could also be returned to the location it was found (surely they have a lost and found), in case the owner were to return for it.

Go to a T-Mobile store or call CS and give them the IMEI #. They can find the owner that way.

IMEI# is likely printed on the phone itself, behind the battery. It certainly is on my Samsung phone.

Cat13's suggestion still holds: take it to a T-mobile store.

Cannot help to notice the excuses you've offered lean in favor of you keeping a phone that isn't yours.

Then take out the memory card and sell it on ebay.
