Can I use a Sprint Jail broken iPhone for sprint?

I recently had my iPhone stolen and I have sprint, I'm still in a two year contract and don't qualify for an upgrade till next year. So my friend said he would sel me a iPhone for sprint which is jail broken, And I was just wondering if that would work for sprint? Can I go to the store and ask if I can get my same number and a sim card and use that iPhone instead of buying a brand new iPhone because I can't afford the prices of an iPhone retail. Or if there are any other options or maybe if you had a similar experience?

You should first find out if you have insurance. Usually you can file a lost phone claim which does require a deductible. I'm almost certain that you can activate it as long as the ESN is clear.

I haven't clicked on the cydia app yet i only jail broke it so i can put my Australian sim card in it. When i connected my iphone with itunes it attempted to 'restore' but i unplugged it. So what will happen to my phone if I connect it to itunes? Will it corrupt it? Full details please! btw i paid for some guy to jail break my phone so i have no idea about cydia
