Is buying a iPhone with Bad ESN bad?

I want to buy an iPhone 4 or 4s but it says bad esn. I'm not going to activate the phone to any provider. I just want it for Wi-Fi for home use. Is it bad to buy it or okay?

  • Should i buy a bad esn iphone and use it with gsm carrier? I wanna buy myself an iphone 4s from ebay. I live in bosnia and we only have GSM carriers. I noticed that verizon or sprint "bad esn" iphones are much cheaper so, should i buy that phone and unlock it to my network or should i gather more money and buy myself a new factory unlocked one?
  • If an iPhone has a bad esn, could it be unlocked? Can any iPhone with a bad esn be unlocked if jailbroken? For example, my sprint iPhone 4s was deactivated. It was not factory unlocked either. So in order for me to activate it with tmobile, I had to jailbreak it and use a gevey sim with it. Could an iPhone with a bad esn be unlocked if jailbroken?
