simply? .. no .. it's been reported lost or stolen and every network will have it on the banned list.

If you happen to get caught with it you can be charged with handling stolen goods.. best thing to do is sell it to a shady phone shop for parts.

I think we use different frequencies.. lots of European region phones will not work in North America. ..

handling this phone however obtained is actually illegal as it is now on a stolen/lost list.. i.e not in the possession of the legal owner. As the UK and USA now share all kinds of criminal intelligence.. and a phone sent overseas will most surely attract the attention of customs at the very minimum.. best course is to either hand it in to police and claim you found it somewhere (and you don't match a description of a mugger or anything).. if they clear it then it could be legally yours if not claimed... or a back street unscrupulous person. I don't want to know where it came from.. too much info..

I think before we go any further you should be aware that even having this phone is risky http://www.met.police.uk/mobilephone/stolen.htm
