IPhone 5 on Craigslist sprint?

So I'm planning to buy an iPhone 5 on Craigslist, but I'm a little confused about the unlocked and carrier stuff and I want to be sure I'm buying the right phone. I looked at a phone and it said that it was a sprint phone unlocked and then I looked at another iPhone and it said it was a sprint phone not unlocked and it was a lower price. There was also a phone that was factory unlocked I think this is the phone that can be used with any carrier but I'm not sure. I'm planning to buy an iPhone with sprint prepaid card. Will it work with the sprint iPhone 5 or only with a factory unlocked iPhone 5? Sorry for the long story lol I'm just really confused about this someone help thanks. Or any suggestions about getting an iPhone 5 with prepaid? Sorry I'm new to buying my own stuff. Feeling dumb…

You need to get any unlocked phone. If it's truly unlocked, it will work with any carrier. Just a thought: there are better choices than the iphone5.

  • Sprint iphone bought off craigslist still active on other account? I bought a Sprint iPhone 4 off of Craigslist andwhen I took it up to Sprint I found out it was active on the guy who sold it to me, his account. He still owes money for his contract. They told me the only way it would work was for him to pay it off. Is this true? Could I get it jail broken and it work on my Sprint account?
  • Sprint Iphone 4s VS Sprint Galaxy Note 2? I currently own the Sprint Iphone 4S and the data speed on it is so slow it's almost unusable. I'm looking at the Sprint Galaxy note 2. My question is. Is the data speed on the Galaxy Note 2 for sprint is faster then the Sprint Iphone 4S?
