That would more than likely be unpleasant, despite the obvious social perks, namely immediate and unconditional popularity. Oh yeah, I just remembered something. I found a cell phone and an expensive one too. The guy cancelled it (I can't make calls). What I want to do is get a new number on it and use it myself. Does anyone know how to go about this? I hear if I remove the SIM card then it's okay? This isn't illegal is it? Cause I'm not, nor have I ever been, involved in any illegal proceedings. None. Anyways, I have a friend who is starting work at a Telus this week and guess what? It's a Telus phone. Eat **** narcs. What should I do? Can I do it without the friend? I hope so. Seems to me finding like a $300 phone should come with some perks.
