I'm sure the owner of it reported their phone stolen, and you won't be able to activate it.

you can activate it you just have to take it into at&t and get a new sim card to activate in or you can jailbreak it buy a AT&T go phone plan and put it in there but in order for it to work you will have to jailbreak it

if they report it stolen the phone isnt worth activating as it will have a bad esn. if you want to be safe as possible reactivate it with a different carrier that has sim cards. so if that phone was for att activate it with tmobile or some other company that has sim cards. if you dont want to get in trouble whats so ever turn it into the police and no one claims it (I think within 30-60 days) it's legally yours. It doesn't matter what it is, it could me $1million or a cell phone, it's legally yours.

lol just go get it unlocked at any place that does it. its legal and stick any sim in it you want end of story and most likely people who go to bars dont bother to report them stolen with apple so your all good just do as i say:)

If it is reported stolen then its a nice pricey iPod Touch. But if they didn't than you still should be able to use it as a phone
