IPhone 5 with Verizon use GSM?

I have this question, I'm interested in buying it, Thanks.
Highscore.

THE IPHONE 5 FROM VERIZON IS A CDMA/GSM PHONE
THE PHONE COMES "FACTORY UNLOCKED" AND READY TO USE
WITH ANY GSM SIM CARD LIKE T MOBILE AND AT&T.
HOWEVER BE AWARE THAT THE SIM CARD IS A NANO SIM CARD VS MINI SIM CARD ON THE IPHONE 4 OR 4S.

No, the iPhone 5 from Verizon is a world phone, capable of being used on a GSM or CDMA network

through Verizon it uses CDMA, the iPhone 5 sold by verizon has the SIM card slot unlocked and capable of being used by any GSM wireless service.

to do this however, you have to pay FULL price for the iPhone 5, not the discounted price, as then you would be locked into a 2-year contract with Verizon. The full price of the iPhone 5 16gb is $649
