Tried that.. Would not work.

Hook it up to your pc and grab the contacts list and see if theres a "home" number or "wife", "Husband" etc.

isnt there a program that allows you to see the screen on your comp start it up and run that program

They could, but are usually too lazy, most people have filed an insurance claim so they keep them and refurbish them

ESN no doubt is marked as bad if the phone was reported lost/stolen, so it's worthless. You can earn karma points buy turning it into the carrier. No doubt you know which carrier it is. They will be able to find its owner in about 5 seconds.

If you don't turn it in and you try and sell it, you're selling stolen goods. I don't think that will end well for you, or if not you for whomever is unfortunate enough to buy it.

Just turn it in. Or toss it in the can (you can steal, er, keep the sd card, of course)

I sure hope if I ever lose my phone someone turns it in.

You mean MyMobiler? http://www.mymobiler.com/

YEah that'll do the trick, as long as it can establish an activesync connection, it'll show the screen...

Here is the simplest way to get it taken care of.

If it's a sprint TP :

Call customer service , tell them you found a phone , give them the ESN of that phone and they will find out who it belongs to , and hopefully they will tell you to drop it off at one of the store , and customer can go pick it up. Even though it's no good cause it' damaged.

Yeah use pocket controller pro or mymobiler to get around the screen issue.

was also gonna post my mobiler too. when my phones screen cracked thats what i used to backup my contacts and such. works pefectly. even installs on its own so you dont have to do anything touching wise. so there is really no excuse to not be able to return it unless you cant find anything in the contacts.
