iPhone 5 64gb Replacement

[iMore Question]

my friend is giving me his old 64gb iphone 5, but he has sprint and i have virgin mobile. the only thing we can think of to make it work for me is for him to break his 5 (he has apple care+) so he can get a 5c which will work on virgin mobile. but since the 5c only goes up to 32gb, will he just get that? or could he get a 64gb 5s and pay for the difference? or is there any way to get the sprint iphone 5 to work on virgin mobile? thanks!

virgin mobile doesnt allow phones onto their network that arent bought directly from them, so unless theres a way to get around that, it wont work
