This thing is demolished, won't turn on and the screen is completely broken. The sim card is in perfect condition from AT&T. Is there anyway to locate the owner using the sim? Is there a sim card reader that I can buy? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
iPhone 5s, iOS 7
Bring to the Apple Store for re-cycle.
I apologize up front if this is no help but my first inclination is to take the sim card to an AT&T store and have them find the owner for you. Because I can only assume that the phone's owner is an AT&T customer, who should be in the company's database.
I don't think AT&T will give you the owner address just because they have it in their database.
Didn't say that. Here's what happens:
1) doom_dude walks into an AT&T store with the phone.urn the phone in to AT&T.
2) He tells them he found this phone, discovered that the sim is AT&T, and asks them if this phone belongs to one of their customers.
3a) If AT&T says "yes", doom_dude leaves the phone with them, walks out and lets AT&T contact the customer and organize whatever else is needed. Doom_dude is no longer involved.
3b) If AT&T says "no", doom_dude pursues other options that I cannot give.
Simple.
Turn it into the local authorities.
Found broken iPhone 5s. Anyway to find owner using sim card?
