Are you sure that the phone is not Activation Locked? If it is, you need to have your friend follow these instructions:


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Otherwise, your friend needs to contact the carrier that is locked to the phone and ask the carrier to remove the lock on the phone.
