Verizon iPhone 5 NOT unlocked?

After all the researching about the Verizon iPhone 5 being unlocked, I noticed that no one really verified it. Seems like all of the articles are lies or well, maybe it's just my Verizon iPhone that is locked. I called Apple this morning and I gave them the phone's serial number and it has been dubbed LOCKED. So every iPhone 5 on Verizon is unlocked? I think NOT. Does anyone know a way to unlock an iPhone 5 on Verizon? My Sprint iPhone 5 is "unlocked" using a gevey sim card but there's no gevey sim for an iPhone 5 yet.

Can't unlock iphone 5.

  • Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
  • Unlocked vs factory unlocked iphone? So I'm thinking about getting an iPhone but I wanted to know if I could take an unlocked iPhone to the Verizon store an them set it up for me? I have no clue what the difference between factory unlocked, unlocked, and locked iPhones are
  • Is the iPhone 5 on Verizon unlocked or not? I want to know the real answer. I went to Verizon, and they said that theirs is unlocked. They mentioned that they are allowing users to roam freely in other countries, while others don't. So I went to apple, I asked the sales guy. He told me that it is Verizon's opinion, and he can't say much about it, and he would not risk it, because most of the iphones are supposed to be locked not unlocked. Now I don't know who was right. Why would Apple say that?
  • If i do not have insurance on my verizon iPhone 5s but warranty with apple will verizon replace it? I do not have insurance with Verizon; however, I have warranty with apple until next year. Apple will replace my phone but will Verizon replace my iPhone since i have warranty with apple? (i bought it from Verizon) I'm just wondering because it is easier for me to go to Verizon rather than Apple.
