GSM phones in the United States are not placed on a black list as they are in some European, South American and African countries. About forty carriers participate in the program. Handset Theft ~ GSM World

The lost phone was deactivated when the new one was issued.

If you keep the phone, you are breaking the law. It is fraud. The phone belongs to the insurance company. If you don't like it, don't get the insurance. The insurance company is NOT AT&T. It is an insurance company that covers lost, stolen and broken phones.
By not returning the phone you are committing a crime and can be arrested if found out.

There's no need to be hostile towards a member that is trying to help you.

wow, check with the insurace company?

your a good guy and I refuse to give anymore help to people who charge 300 dollars for text messages.. your are a nice guy, how bout I keep the phone and use it like the previous person said...

terrible advice and you should stay on the forums you dude.... not an idiot

Thank you for you help in advance..

If you find a phone upon which a claim has been paid, that recovered phone belongs to the insurance company. Check with them to see what to do.

i think you can just take the sim card out of ur old phone and put it into the new phone. then the new phone will work off of ur plan

att

what service provider do you have?
