I found a brand new tour in NYC n I have a family plan for iPhones so I unlocked the phone from verizon tour <link removed> I unlocked it and changed the settings they told me to do, the AT&T came up int the center n the edge network was up full service I made a call n it worked but not the pins I'm not recieving any bbms, I brought the phone to a corprate storeand they changed my plan to a blackberry for that number n I recieve texts n there is no Internet app I need help figuring out y I can't bbm anyone, It makes no sence I think I've done everything corectly.

This has got to be a joke. Found?

that was the longest sentence in the world. i didn't see a single full stop till the end.

'Found' a tour?

"Found" a BB once myself! Made every effort to return to its rightful owner!

Bad karma, dude. You kept someone's phone when you should have sought the owner.

now why aren't there MORE people like you around?

I've definitely seen some worse ones around here!

well he was in nyc, anything is possible.

Found..... these threads just make me shake my head.

it hit my foot when i was drunk at a bar paked after the yankee game the battery was dead n i didnt turn it on till a couple days after, i have i phones not bb's. so does anyone have a solution or just opions that i should have returned it, like any of u would go outa ur way to return a phone do u think i dont work, or maybe its happend to me that ive had my iphone taken n never returned ive had 6.

OH, well drunk in a 'paked' bar makes all the difference. Then that makes it ok to not even TRY to return the device to the RIGHTFUL OWNER.

SMFH. At least attempt to do the right thing, man. You'll get no help here.

the original owner has probably reported it stolen/lost by now, its a brick.

I wonder if that new software that reports in when a stolen/lost BlackBerry is used by someone who "found it" is now working?

<heh heh heh>

BJ (sorry, BerryJerry), think about doing the right thing and returning it.

You're so awesome, we need more of you people who finds things and doesn't try to return em.

(Yes, extreme sarcasm.)

This tosser will show up here again any time now, with a new user name and a new story. I can smell him thinking, trying to cook up a new tale.

Hit your foot -- right!

This is a bunch of nonsensical junk. But one bit in particular stands out above the rest:

First, and I'm speaking only for myself here, you will get no help from me, but you will get, free of charge, my opinion on your pathetic behavior. No thanks needed.

Second, I would go out of my way to return something that was dropped at my feet considering that it wouldn't have been terribly difficult. Had it been terribly difficult, I would have made some effort to return it or at least turn it over to someone who can take care of it. If you are too lazy to find the owner who is, undoubtedly, in the freaking bar, then you could have at least given the phone to the bartender with an explanation of what happened. It would have taken you all of ten seconds. The drawback to doing this, however, is that you don't get to keep the phone and come up with some award-winning excuses as to why it is okay for you to steal from others.

Third, if I understand your gibberish properly, one fine excuse you give for keeping the phone is that you don't have a job. Um... last time I checked, being unemployed is not a valid defense for theft. And if you are unemployed, I would suggest not going to bars as job interviews tend to not go well when the interviewee is drunk or hung over. You are going to job interviews, right?

Fourth, and further hoping that I am understanding your gibberish properly, you excuse your behavior because you have had phones of yours stolen. Eye for an eye kind of situation, huh? Also not a valid defense for theft.

My suggestion is to go somewhere else to get help. Coming here with what amounts to "hey, I just stole a phone and need help making it work" is despicable and hopefully won't be tolerated here.

Can the OP be kicked out out here already?

In fact I have gone to great lengths to return a BB to someone

I believe the saga is posted in the rants and rave section.

I'm mobile otherwise I'd go and get the link for you!

Yep, here it is and still one of the greatest threads EVER on BBF.
