Is it the sim card or the phone with the pin, as if its the sim card you may be able to get info from the phone, and visa versa if the sim is blocked. With regard to leaving items in garda station I would let them know you have it but not leave it there. Just personal opinion.Sol28 said:My friend lost his phone that was turned off but the finder took his sim out of his own phone - put it in the found phone - and could access some contacts/texts that were on the phone and then phoned one of them - (Me), to see if i knew anything about it. I had never thought of doing that - Normally when I have found them I have been able to open the phone and look up Home or something equivalent in the address book.

But how does this benefit those who are really in need of aid, as opposed to cash donation? I take your point about infrastructure etc. Anyway, this is really for another thread.extopia said:There are many areas of the third world with no landline infrastructure. Mobile infrastructure is faster and cheaper to install and so has become the default infrastructure. I don't honestly know what rates cellphone companies charge third world customers but I have heard that mobile phones are pretty prized items where such infrastructure exists.
