Exclamation iPhone 4 HELP!

My friend offered to report his phone lost to the phone company so that he could give me his iPhone 4 what he currently has and he will get the new one that the phone company send him.
But i have encoutered some problems, can the phone company track the phone even though his sim card is not inside his phone.
Is this possible?
Will they lock the phone?
Will i need to get a iPhone sim card because I hearda a standard sim card cannot fit into a iPhone 4.
If i ask my Phone company for a iPhone sim card what has the same number as my standard sim card will they provide me with one? and if so will they charge me?

Thank you for your help!

Just go and buy your own. You don't have to steal one. Or risk your friends job, or Prosecution.
