    Default someone help me please...

    OK..well my friend found a 4g iphone and he gave it to me..i opened it up and it had a tmobile sim card in it so i'm assuming it was already unlocked...i put my tmobile sim card in it and it says "iPhone is disabled - connect to iTunes" .... now when i look in the upper right hand corner it says tmobile where the service bars are, and it lets me make/recieve calls eventhough it says emergency calls only...any idea how i can get rid of the "iPhone is disabled" message?? any help would be appreciated..thanks in advance!!!

    maybe you should return it. or look in the contacts for someone to call who knows whos phone it is. basically he stole someone's iphone.

    ok..good idea. How am i supposed to access the contacts when the iphone is disabled and only lets me make emergency calls? and yes he basically stole someone's iphone because he found it on the bathroom floor of a club, you're correct...but anyway, we're getting off topic here..can anyone help me with this problem???

    you are asking iPhone owners how to make use of an iPhone that is owned by another one of us.

    turn it in or shoot yourself.

    You are a thief. Your friend is a thief.

    You know it's not your phone, it has a serial number, and has already been reported to Apple and T-Mobile. That's why it appears to be disabled.

    It will do you no good.

    Save what is left of you Karma or Soul.

    return it.
