My friend offered to report his phone lost to the phone company so that he could give me his iPhone 4 what he currently has and he will get the new one that the phone company send him.
But i have encoutered some problems, can the phone company track the phone even though his sim card is not inside his phone.
Is this possible?
Will they lock the phone?
Will i need to get a iPhone sim card because I hearda a standard sim card cannot fit into a iPhone 4.
If i ask my Phone company for a iPhone sim card what has the same number as my standard sim card will they provide me with one? and if so will they charge me?

Thank you for your help!

They should provide you with another sim card, but you will need some proof that it belongs to you or a friend.

Unfortunately, yes it can be as anytime the iphone is still connected they can track you using GPS.

well the sim card is small but i am not sure they might be able to and they aren't really new so they probably have caught on to simillar scams.. you might get in a lot of crap and if you use it and you get caught then you will get in trouble for theft because your friend reported it stolen/missing and you happen to have it

doesn't seem like a good idea man..

I'm pretty sure your phone company will not send you a new phone if you "lost" it. You would have had to purchase a warranty on it or insurance. I think they will only replace a broken phone, but you have to bring it in.
