Buying a used iPhone

Hi, my dad is moving to Cyprus and he's selling his iPhone 5. A women has offered me a iPhone 4S and cash. The iPhone is from Greece, is it different to an English one in anyway and will it automatically be unlocked as apparently all phones in Greece are already unlocked. Also she said she has no paperwork to prove the phone is hers, can she ring apple and will they confirm the phone is hers and can they not do that?


Thanks daniel

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

If you have access to this phone,


what does it say when you look at

Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?


When it comes to buying iphones from non "official" sources with a need for them to be unlocked, I've read too many posts from users who were taken advantaged of. I wouldn't bite.
