Will an AT&T iphone 5s work for tmobile?

For example my friend has an iphone 5s with AT&T he can report it as lost and pay $200 for a new one. Would I be able to use the one he reported as stolen for myself even though I have tmobile. Also I would provide the $200 for the phone.

Your friend will be committing fraud for insurance purposes on the phone if he does report it was lost to AT&T and they could suspend your friends service and blacklist the imei number to the phone to where it can't be used for no service providers and be nothing but a worth less Wi-Fi and not only that the insurance company will want that phone that was reported as lost send back to them

  • Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
