I always just left a old simcard in them.
If locked to a carrier, prob needs to be from them. |

I think Sprint is CDMA (like Verizon) and AT&T/tMobile is GSM.
I quit playing with them at the 4 so not sure if the newer ones have both radios in them, or are CDMA/GSM specific. ModMyI is the site I used to look at for info on that stuff. Either way, it will need to be unlocked to run on a different carrier. Shouldnt be hard to do if you can get the guy to call them up and say he will be travelling outside of the country. |

I'd rather just not buy it, and keep the crappy phone I got right now. |

Dont bother with it. Unless he is willing to get it unlocked for you, you are going to have a very hard time getting it working right.
And, dont bother calling Apple if you buy it (to get it unlocked). They cant do anything regarding the unlocking process. |

If it is not unlocked, then it is locked to the carrier that it was made for.
ESN = electronic serial number. A clean ESN is not stolen. |

Sprint will not unlock their phones for anyone, anytime, period.
Unless you plan to use it on Sprint service, steer clear. |
