Are all Verizon iPhone 5's unlocked already?
Are all the Verizon iPhone 5's already unlocked by default when sold? Or do we have to unlock them?
I'm planning on buying one on use for TMobile
Added (1). Verizon's iPhone 5 can be unlocked for T-Mobile. The previous iPhones couldnt but the iPhone 5 can. Just need to know if it already comes out of the box unlocked
You can't do this.
1. Verizon uses a network technology called CDMA. Their phones are activated directly on their network and do not use SIM cards. Sprint and many of the smaller carriers (Virgin, US Cellular, MetroPCS, etc.) use the same technology.
CDMA phones don't come "unlocked" because there's nothing to unlock.
2. T-Mobile and AT&T use GSM mobile technology. Those companies use phones equipped with SIM cards.
Therefore, you can't use a Verizon (or Sprint) iPhone on T-Mobile's network. It will not work.
In case you were considering getting an AT&T model instead, you can unlock one and use it on T-Mobile (which you will have to do through AT&T, which has some restrictions about it), but you will not have the benefit of high-speed data (3G/4G) connections. The two companies use different frequencies, so it will not work.
You should either use the carrier the phone is branded for or get another phone.

- Iphone 5s verizon unlocked already? So I'm buying this 5s from my friend and it is on verizon and I currently have metro pcs, can I just take the phone and get a metro pcs sim card without going to verizon?
- How much will an Iphone 5s cost even if I already have a contract with Verizon? Okay, so, I've had the same phone (the Iphone 4) since 2012, and I think it's time for a change. Now, on top of being time for a change, my screen is cracked and the home button rarely ever works. However, I already have a two year contract with Verizon, which has been renewed recently, and I don't currently have a free upgrade. If someone that knows the answer could share their knowledge it would be very appreciated, thank you!
- Do new iPhones have all 8GB or is some already used up? Updating my iPhone always takes up a lot of space… When you get a new iPhone do you have all 8 gigs (or whatever it is), or is some space already used? (like for the apps you can't get rid of or whatever? My iPhone is 8GB but I only have 6.5 possible to use in usage… (I've already used 6.5/6.5 lol)
