Does the iPhone 5 come unlocked from Verizon so I can put in a different SIM card?

I'm going to study abroad in Germany for a few months and want to make sure I can use my iPhone 5 from Verizon with a different phone company over there by just using a different SIM card. Can the iPhone 5 be used with any carrier via the SIM card?

Yea actually it does but not for the same Verizon phone number you use in the states. It can't be used with any just any sim carrier. It has to be one compatible for the iPhone 5.
