I bought an used Iphone 4s but I need the Apple ID of the first owner and I do know him. What can I do to activate the phone?
Without the Apple ID and Password of the original owner, you will never be able to use that phone. You will encounter Activation Lock which is a theft prevention feature. Check these links...

I know that, it is an old model BUT I use it 1/ as a phone only, works perfectly, and 2/ for the quality of its sustainable battery (!), without programmed obsolescence, like many other Apple products.
The main reason I use the iPhone 4S. Thank you.
Even if you could activate it, that phone is an antique. It uses the 3G cell band and most carriers have shut off that service. You wouldn't be able to use it even if it was unlocked.
Re: “… The main reason I use the iPhone 4S …”
Just not THIS particular iPhone 4S.
1. 3G service is most likely going to stop at the end of the year.
2. Apple doesn't make batteries for iPhone 4 anymore.
