today coming off the boat ramp road at a local lake. the phones looks new but the screen is busted. ive tried to call out with the phone and all the thing does is flash/light up.

any ideas?

you could put up signs around the neighborhood... ;D

but seriously, I have no idea. If you can't get into the contacts then I'm not sure if you have any good options.

Maybe take it to a cell phone place and see if they can pull some information off of it. :-/

Take it to anyone of the stores of whatever company it is.(ie: sprint, att, verizon, etc)  They should be able to scan the barcode behind  the battery and contact the owner.

if you can get to the contacts look for a "Home" number

also check under "In Case of Emergency" in the contacts and see if they filled out any of the information there.

awesome! :)

Push send twice and call that number. If that doesn't work push send then down then send again.

If that doesn't work wait for somebody else with a BB. Most likely the screen doesn't work, but the buttons will.

It should say T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. on the device somewhere (not the screen, but printed on the case).  Take it to the carrier's store and turn it it.  They'll take care of it from there.

While you wait to take it to a store leave it on in case someone calls. Then just answer and explain the situation.

I once found a phone in a bathroom at a rest area off the interstate in South Carolina. Few minutes later the phone started buzzing, and the guy called it from another cell phone and I met him 4 exit up the interstate. I got 5 bucks for safe delivery of his phone. I kind of got upset, because I shorted myself. I could have asked for more. ;D

I wasn't asking for money, I just said "are you one that called for this phone?" and he goes "yup, here a 5, thank you." I need work on my mistake cop attitude. ;D

Didn't you find two phone in Vegas?

This is your third in just as many months...

Really? You should have given yourself a pat on the back for doing the right thing.

I was in process of looking through "In Case of Emergency" and trying figure out how contact the owner, while I was doing that, the phone started ringing. Save me all the guesswork. LOL. Anyone could have easily stole this phone for good. He just left it on the TP holder in a bathroom at a truck stop. I met the guy 4 exit up the road, so he pretty lucky someone didn't go into that stall before me and that person wasn't as nice as I was. It was one of those new LG touchscreen from Verizon.

4 exit up the road..took him long enough realized his phone missing. LOL. ;D Since then, I always check my pocket for my phone before I pull out of a parking lot. I got into that habit.

Really, Skunk, you seems to have a knack for finding phones? :D

P.S. Only reason why he got his phone back was because I didn't need drug money, nor a new phone. Nor am I a terrorist or a spy.  ;D
