I HAVE ALWAYS ADVISED PEOPLE TO LOCK ONLY APPLICATIONS AND PICTURES ON THEIR PHONE. LEAVE THE SIM, CONTACT & PHONE OPEN TO AVOID CASES LIKE THESE AND OTHER WORST SCENARIO. GOOD EFFORT OP |

OP, if truly u picked it from the ground, go ahead and drop it at the police station close to you. If not, police might be looking for you. And when she comes to collect it from you, dont be surprise if you follow there to kirikiri cuz you dont know the event that lead to the phone missing. #myopinion |

tosyne2much:That is an option but she might lose vital documents stored in her phone in the process of unlocking. Btw... This should serve as a lesson to people who lock their phones indiscriminately. Imagine! How can someone lock simcard? What if she was in an accident and they need to call any of her relatives?

Nice one OP Try remove the Sim card put it on another phone hopefully the sim might not be locked......... Then you can allow calls to come in. Good job bro. I have been in this kind of scenario The said phone was with me for close to 2 month b4 it got to the owner |

OP if you say they are asking you PUk that means you have dialed wrong pin for sim in attempt to open it. So sim is of no use even if you put in other mobile. Option 1. Check if phone has memory card if so try removing it and check whether lady has saved a copy of contact on it.(i have done it in order to save stress of transferring number i can just copy from memory card.) Option 2. Go to mtn store explain them and tell them to atleast give you mobile number from serial number of sim. Two way you can use that you can make a search on fb using mobile number and if lucky you can get her contact.second if she decides to get a new sim with that number you can still call her. But mtn wont give you that details that easily no harm in trying. Option 3. Flash it still you will not be able to get any contact because sim is lock so you can enjoy phone and be sure you tried. option 4. to deposit phone with police station but rather than doing that better you use it. Best choice for you is to find a engineer who can bypass lock pattern and that is possible once done access contact and call any number and you will get details of lady. Or else follow option 1 and 2 which are stressful. Choice is your advice is mine with no liability of your action taken following my advice 1 Like |

masterP042:does op even know the name of the owner? Does he know what she looks like? Does he know her house address? So u expect him to go to omoba phase 2 and start knocking at the gate of every house waving a vivo phone at the face of the gateman? Clap for urself |

You are a very rare breed and may God reward you abundantly for being so concerned about returning her phone. Why don't you try inserting her SIMS in your phone. Perhaps there could be a number in her contacts that you can retrieve and call to inquire about her. |

@ajarossi, in addition to what pat1612 said, one safe way of getting owner's contacts without destroying anything would be going through her sim card. from her pictures select the ones likely to be used on social media and do a 'google image search'. 1 Like 1 Share |

As a phone engineer in dis kind situation ,there some simple solution to it. first d sim is locked with password rite buh d phone it's self is not locked?. d solution is u removed d sim & put ur own sim inside d phone. if d phone is original den d call log will still be intact (i mean d log will not be wipe) so from d call log u can easily call any number |

ajarossi:the lady is making things difficult for you, how would she give you a location that is not precise?? and why didn't she give you her name, atleast with that you can check her up via facebook ,can calls come in? if yes you can just copy out the digits before the call drops, since you cant receive the calls,then call the number with another phone,I like your sincerity and honesty but sometimes good deeds ain't worth the troubles it'l fetch, if nothing works,flash the device and contact her......with her nonchalant attitudes towards the phone, I won't waste ma time looking for a pin in a desert. |

Any other solution., go back dat Mtn office, dey should be able to identify d number & puk of dat sim by using serial number of dat sim. Secondly check if d phone has Sd card, if yes den d issue is about to be solved. all u need to do is to boot to recovery mood since d phone is android (dis ao to boot to recovery mood, hold and press both power&volume down key) so from there u will see different options. (Note remove d sim b4 booting to recovery mood ooo) first locate backup user data&press it and wait till d backing up is completed.(Note d backup will only cover call log, files, phone contact, apps) Naw look for factory /data wipe den press it, wait until it's finished. now reboot d phone d .d phone password is gone. Thirdly, How to restore user data. U will still need to reboot recovery mood again. u look for restore user data&press it. wait until it's finished and reboot d phone. congratulations u av successfully removed d phone without loosing any data. just copy any number from call log to ur phone and call dem. |
