Can an iPhone 5S purchased on AT&T work on Verizon?
My friend has an iphone he wants to sell me but he is on ATT and I'm on verizon. I heard the 5S works on all carriers but I'm not sure.
Yes but with steps:
It's all about frequency. First thing you must do is make sure your friend's iPhone 5s is unlocked, if it's not unlocked you can't leave AT&T
Now that the phone is hopefully unlocked, you take it to a Verizon store and ask them for a test SIM card so you could test it out if the AT&T iPhone 5S's frequency is compatible Verizon's frequency.
It would need to be activated by Verizon. Should enquire if they would even do it.
AT&T and T-Mobile are the only carriers whose phones can be unlocked and used on other networks - so yes.
