Sprint Iphone 5 sim card slot?

I have the 16 gb iPhone 5 from sprint and i realized that the phone still has the sim card slot. Does this mean that the phone can be unlocked to be used with at&t or t-mobile? Or is it unlocked already?

It is easy to jailbreak it.

I read online from CNET that "Sprint will unlock the global SIM if you've been a customer for 90 days and are in good financial standing (your bill is paid). "

Short answer: No. Even though most devices by CDMA carriers (incl. Verizon and Sprint) do have SIM Card slots, they only enable you to use the device with GSM carriers abroad.US GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile are blocked from those devices, even if unlocked.

  • Will iphone 5 from Verizon under 2yr contract come with SIM card slot? I wanna get a black 64Gb iphone 5 from version under 2yr contract to get it cheaper than paying at full price. I was wondering if it comes with a SIM card slot so I can unlock it cheaper on a website that unlocks phones even if its on 2yr contract. This way I can put a SIM card from any carrier since the iphone 5 from version is more of a world phone.
