What should I do with a phone that one of the girls gave me to return to its owner, after she became convinced of the unlawfulness of the relationship with a young man, knowing that the phone's owner does not turn on her phone so I can return it to her? And would my returning the phone be considered aiding in sin?

This phone is a trust () with you, and you must safeguard it as you would your own property. Then, give it to its owner along with advising and admonishing her, enjoining good upon her and forbidding evil. If you cannot reach her soon, then keep it as a trust with you until you find her.
