A locked phone is good to know about when purchasing a used phone. When someone says "locked phone" it usually means that the phone is not able to be activated until the bill through the carrier is paid in full.

Can you change or spoof the IMEI of an unlocked GSM phone in order to use it with a SIM card that's locked to a different phone?
A SIM is not "locked to a phone" -- the phone is locked to use only SIMs for a specific network. In other words, any SIM will work in any unlocked phone. A locked phone will work with any SIM from the network it is locked to. Changing the IMEI (which is rumoured to be possible, but I am not sure) wouldn't make any difference -- if the phone is unlocked, you can already use any SIM in it.
