i dont think that you are going to be able to use that phone on your contract with sprint..... you might get lucky and get a nice rep though..... but talk to your buddy and make sure that the bill is paid off (basically like having a hold on the phone) and if hes stil with them make sure they clear it from the system... (cricket) i had to do this with sprint before even though the phone was deactivated for weeks.
