How to get into iPhone contacts

[xsunnysuex]

I found an iPhone on the train this morning. But it's locked. Is there a way to find contact numbers?
I want to try and return it to the owner. But can't get into it to look.

If you leave it connected to the mobile network and plugged in, the owner should put it into lost mode and a number will appear to contact, if they do it right.

You might get a phone call on it. Otherwise just hand it into the cops.

Leave it on and charge it if you can, so the owner can see where it is on Find My iPhone for longer.

I'm not sure you can get into all contacts without getting through the lock screen, even through siri. You could speak to siri and say contact and then say a random first name , that should bring up a list with all contacts with that name and you can call/message them. Siri wont be able to say who owns the phone though.
However, messages, emails, and notifications should still appear, if you swipe upwards there might be some still there. Could give you some way of identifying the owner or contacts that you could contact?

Otherwise just hand it in.

This is where having an Italian driving licence stored with your phone comes in handy

Luckily he received a text. Gave me enough details of a law firm in London. So I called it. Eventually managed to track him down.
Meeting later to return it.

I accidentally left mine in a taxi in Barcelona once. So the first thing I did was call, hoping he’d answer and I’d pay for its return. Of course he never picked up or bothered taking the call details or anything like that. No idea what he did with it.
Good that there’s honest people like you left in the world.

I once lost my wallet (in Brighton I think) and some kind soul contacted me and returned it intact, bless them.
