Will any company activate a jailbroken iphone 5 & HTC1?

Someone tried to sell me a jailbroken iphone 5s and a jailbroken HTC1, but I don't want to waste my money if I can't get it turned on by boost mobile, Virgin Mobile, or Tmobile

Jailbroken doesn't matter. Only if it's unlocked or the IMEI is shut off for being lost or stolen does. Don't ever buy uh, cheap like that unless you check the serial number. Best luck.

  • Will an unlocked iPhone work for any phone company network? I would like to stay with Boost Mobile after I bought MY VERY OWN iPhone. If not, I will go with sprint. The problem is I pay my own phone bill and I'm starting work soon. This is why if I can stay with my current phone company I will. If not I will just buy a cricket iPhone. I was looking into getting an unlocked Samsung Galaxy s4 at first, but they're more expensive. So will an unlocked iPhone allow me to use it with my own company choice? If so which ones?
