is there a way to unlock my phone from icloud

If you're the device's original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.

If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send themthis linkand tell them to follow its instructions.

If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

No, you can't. An iPhone 4 or newer which is being offered secondhand for a cheap price is likely activation locked or otherwise useless to the seller.

If it was unlocked by anyone other than Sprint, then it has been hacked.

ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.

It sounds very suspicious.

Try to get a refund. It seems you have a hacked iPhone, that may have been stolen. The iCloud activation lock is an anti-theft matter. Only the rightful owner can unlock it the activation lock.

If you do not have a way to contact the person who set the lock you will not be able to use the phone.

No, it's not odd. It's Activation Lock, a theft deterrent feature. And it works really well; iPhone thefts have been down 30% worldwide since it was implemented. See: iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock

Apple will not remove Activation Lock for any price. Only the original owner (or the one who enabled it) can unlock it. There's a good chance you bought a stolen phone.

Not odd at all.

It is a security measure.
if you don't know who this device belonged to, why do you have it?

Your friend probably bought a stolen phone.

Not everyone uses Lost Mode. The bottom line is that Apple will not remove the Activation Lock. The only one who can remove it is the original account owner. If you don't have access to the original owner, the phone cannot be unlocked. I understand you wanted to save money, but this is the risk you take buying a used iPhone. Next time, purchase the phone from an authorized Apple retailer.
