I found a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, build 4.2.1 in pretty good condition located on the steps of my apartment complex. No one claimed it in the lost and found for 2 weeks, so I kept it under the assumption that it was previously owned by a visitor or a delivery man, and not a resident.
The device had very little data stored on it, with no saved contacts, stored calls, or pictures. The only thing that was updated was the calendar, a custom screen, and custom sounds. But I formatted it anyway. When it booted up from the reformat, I didn't enter my name or connect it to a network or anything like that yet. I just shut it off until I find out if I can actually use this phone under my number.
Now, I am an active Verizon customer and my 2 year contract is up. This phone is nicer than my 3 year old piece of junk. However, I don't think that I can just stroll into Verizon and activate this phone under my number with or without a SIM card in the device. Either way would seem suspicious. Besides, the most local store is a hike from my home.
What are my options here? PM me or post in this thread.
