Does an unlocked Sprint phone have to be flashed to work with nTelos?

My husband has a Frawg account with nTelos. He has an iPhone 4 from Sprint that we had flashed over to nTelos. We recently had to do a restore and lost the flash. I can get it reflashed for $25, but I checked with Sprint and the ESN is clear and the phone can be unlocked. My question is if I have Sprint unlock the phone, does the phone still have to be flashed to work with nTelos, or will the unlock do the trick? I've already called nTelos and they are clueless. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

    Devices are configured for specific networks. That is why they have to be flashed. The flash puts nTelos' software on the phone so that it will work with that network.
