Q: Please help

I found an Iphone 4S - reported it to the local police who said if it is not claimed within one month then I can keep it.  I reported to the Apple Iphone Store, tried to phone Apple who were not really helpful - i have really tried to trace the owner who obviously does not want the phone back.  Now I would like to use it.  How can i unlock the carrier locking?  I dont know who the carrier is to request them to unlock the phone - Apple said that they could see who the phone belonged to and the carrier, but could not "divulge" this information to me.  I asked them to send the owner a message and gave them my contact details but to no avail.  Please help - I would like to use the phone as no one else seems to want it...

    Why do you think its obviously the owner does not want it back?

    More likely, they simply do not know what to do about it.

     

    Now I would like to use it.  How can i unlock the carrier locking?  I dont know who the carrier is to request them to unlock the phone

    There is nothing you can do.
