What is the law, my friend got a cell phone as a gift?

Nothing. The person who signed up for the contract gave their SS# and information, and signed on for liability. If you friend did the signing, then they would be liable for any charges incurred. If the phone and service was a gift, then no judge will make your friend pay for it.

Technically..no.  Guests are NOT allowed to purchase items & must be signed it by a military ID holder.  Any items purchased and given to non authorized users must be considered a gift..no money is allowed to change hands.  \n\nDoes it happen anyway?  yes.  Depends on the commnad and whether or not they choose to be strict in enforcing the regulation and if they choose to prosecute those who disobey.

Well, if it is a disposable phone, even though you can trace the phone, you can't prove who used it.  I mean, yeah, I have seen law and order pull of some crazy stuff, but its VERY unlikely that they would find the person if they disposed of the phone quick enough.\n\nAnd in case you were asking, it is illegal.  Its called something silly like "improper use of a telephone."

No law on pay phones except that if there is a payphone it must be able to dial an emergency number for free. If you are in a public building, the owners (or employees) must let you use a phone in an emergency situation.

I would contact your local state authorities, there is usually a section where they just serve disabled people like your friend and tell them that this girl desperately needs help. I would like to know why tmoblie gave her a phone in the first place? She should have had to go through a credit check and everything. and I have never heard of a cell phone being $30,000! That's insane that tmobile let it go on that long before shutting it off! I would also call tmobile and tell them that this young lady is mentally retarded and in no way makes enough money to ever pay off this bill and you are unsure of how she got the phone in the first place. Also there are programs in every state that can help her out financially and allow her to still live on her own. There may even be a way for her to have someone to come in and check in on her everyday to make sure she is ok and everything is going well.

Tell him not to give it to her. Why does she deserve the money? If it becomes a harassment problem, he should notify the authorities.

Probably won't happen even if you try.  Privacy laws won't let you have the name and if you report it to the cell provider, they'll just pass it on to the authorities (if it's a harassing call).

Your friend should count herself lucky not to be charged by the store and be sent to jail.  Your friend has the choice not to pay the store.  However, the store has the choice to charge her with shoplifting.  \n\nDoes the store have the right to charge her with shoplifting? Yes.  \n\nDoes the store have the right to make decisions on how they do business? Yes.  \n\nDoes the store have the right to charge for a service, such as the time spent interacting with a shoplifter? Yes.  \n\nDo law abiding people or courts have sympathy for your friend? Sorry, no.

I'm sure there is really no legal matter that you could persue, but you could bring it up to a higher power than the person that sent it to you. Cause that is not good customer service. They could decline you in  amuch nicer way.

Contact your mobile service provider, ie Hutch, !de, Airtel, Orange, BPL, CellOne and request them to discontinue your service. But these companies demand a copy of FIR and related documents from the police. So, remember to xerox the copy of essential docs before approaching these companies. \n\nAlso, remember to take original receipt of mobile handset, as many insurance companies need original price receipt before giving you your money.

Your phone company.\n\nIf you are trying to get someone elses phone information, save some money for bail. You will need it.

You have an order against her - that was the first step. Now she is violating it. You need to call the police and inform them of this. If there is any way that you can record these calls, or if they are messages, save them. The State's Attorney will be able to use them as evidence possibly. Harrassing phone calls is a serious crime with an order or not. She can be broiught to court and serve jail time. You just have to be persistant and make sure that you never initiate contact.

Sweets/confectionary are fine to send, so long as it is clearly marked and you must state it is a gift.  Hope this helps.

I used to work for cingular wireless, and let me tell you, that it is very important to let your mother know. I would advise calling the cellular company you are with and have it temporarily deactivated so that if someone has found it that they wont use it and leave you with a huge bill. You are responsible for this bill as well if you do not call them to report it missing or stolen. good luck
