How to fix the iphone 4s if it is the wrong carrier iphone 4s?

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and how to fix it.   Lets see in October 2012 I bought a brand new Iphone 4s.   I had it less than a week when I sent it to Apple because it had already been updated to IOS 6 without my knowledge and the battery was dying and some other issues was going on with the phone. My carrier Sprint that I purchased it from has a 2 year contract.   What Apple sent me back for my brand new Iphone 4s  was a used refurbished Iphone 4s with Verizon carrier.  I spent hours on the phone with Apple and Sprint.  Sprint told me to tell Apple that I needed a Sprint Iphone.  Well I tried but they said they could make it work as long as I didn't try to install a sim card because then the phone would not work at all. Well besides everything on my phone refering to Verizon or At&t but never my carrier Sprint I suppose it could have been worse.  I actually have never seen the OS 5.11 all I have ever seen is OS 6.  Even the refurbished Verizon phone I was sent was already updated  to I0S 6  so I couldn't change it.  My husbands iphone 4s from Sprint never updated on its on, his is still IOS 5. Anyway, my battery dies quite frequently and now my refurbished Verizon/Sprint iphone has updated to IOS 6.02 which is even worse.   When ever I log into a online account I am always showing up as that I am logging in from another state like Georgia with Sprint carrier but I don't live in Georgia.   Pretty much anytime I Iog into any online account I am never on a Sprint Network in my state .   Always the wrong state. Try to do a soft reset which doesn't help because the factory defaults for the phone is Verizon and lets not forget it won't work with a sprint sim card at all.  I also try to atleast restore it to I0S 6 on itunes but it keeps stating restore and update. So now I am stuck with IOS 6.02.    I think it would be great if I could use I0S 5  like my husband has on his Iphone 4s.  Any suggestions on how to fix my screwed up iphone 4s.   I would go to an apple store but the closest one is over an hour a way. So thats out for now.  So how do I use my iphone 4s with carrier Sprint on their  celluar network in my state and possibly  the city I live in, also which is all  in the UnitedStates?
