No BUT

What can happen is you buy a second hand iPhone and it was unlocked by hacking ( jailbroken ) the iphone by the previous owner

When the new owner tries to activate the iPhone thse activation servers detect the iPhone was unlocked without the Carrier's permission and relocks to the origuinal carrier

Sound familiar ???
