1) It will cost you more than the phone is worth to get it repaired.

2) It may be activation locked. That means locked to the Apple ID of the owner. There's no way to tell until after it's repaired. If it is activation locked, you won't be able to use it.

3) Apple doesn't provide cellular service.


If you can't find the owner, dispose of it responsibly.
