Is my Straight Talk iPhone 5C unlocked?

So, I bought an iPhone 5C (green-if it matters) from Walmart.com about 3-4 months ago. Now, however, I'm realizing that I really don't like Straight Talk. I have poor service in my area and seldom have service. My question is, can I have my iPhone switched over to a new cell phone provider (Verizon, AT&T, etc.)? I paid full price for my iPhone so is it unlocked? If not, how do I get around to doing that? What is GSM? Is my cell phone GSM? I understand that it has something to do with unlocking phones and transferring sim cards, right?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you've bought the phone from Walmart for StraightTalk, it's unlocked. You can use the phone with any GSM carrier (one that uses SIM card) like metroPCS, AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket, H2O Wireless, Family Mobile, SimpleMobile, Net10, etc. You can't use the phone with CDMA carriers (no SIM card) like Verizon, Sprint, Boost, Virgin, US Cellular, C-Spire, PagePlus, etc. You don't need to get your phone unlocked, it's ready for any SIM card.

  • Unlocked iPhone 4S with T-Mobile SIM from Straight Talk? I want to get an iPhone and use it on Straight Talk's network. If I get an unlocked iPhone and get a T-Mobile SIM from Straight Talk (I understand I'll have to cut it down from a regular size to a micro size), will it work on the network? Obviously I don't want to invest $500+ in this and it won't work.
