Things I need to know about the Unlocked IPhone 5, Verizon network?
So i'm Irish and and i'm going to New york on holiday in the next week. I've been planing on buying an Unlocked Iphone 5 while i'm there for use at home here in Ireland, only to learn that the Official unlocked IPhone 5 has yet to be released in the US
There's a very small chance that it will be released within the next two weeks so that seemingly rules out my chances of buying one. But today a friend had linked me with a site that claims that all IPhone 5's sold on the Verizon network in the US are unlocked phones.

On that point i know about apple's international warranty clause that basically annuls the warranty outside of the country which it was bought and i also know my country does not yet have 4G network.
But i was just wondering would the Verizon phone work properly back in Ireland and/or will sites like

work to unlock the phone for use in Ireland
Added (1). To Scott: thanks very much, but its not a problem getting one in Ireland, in fact the IPhone that are sold here are unlocked, what concerns me move are the price i could save over 200€ by buying one in the Us
Yes, Verizon iPhone 5s are unlocked but you would need to be American in order to purchase them, not to mention all the fees attached & then the inevitable early termination fee.
I'd look into getting one from the UK.
- Need to know everything about iPhone 4 (verizon) So I need some help! I'm interested in getting the iPhone 4, which is free when getting a new 2 year contract (I'm eligible for an upgrade). I wouldn't use a lot of data, maybe a little each day because when I need to use the Internet I'm in a place with Wi-Fi. What is the cheapest data plan I can get for the iPhone 4? I currently have an env touch and have a data plan that's 10$ or 15$/month.
- My iphone got stolen and i need to know a few things First off, I was told that you could call apple and they could completely turn off your phone so nobody could use it(as it in its features like camera, notes, etc.) Is this true and how do i do it? I already disconnected the service from my phone company. Second, is there anyway to bypass a lock code without restoring? This is why I want to turn off my iphone so they can't restore it.
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- I talked with someone that works at at&t and she unlocked my iphone 5 for me. How do i know if its actally unlocked? Or how can I check? She said My phone was unlocked and I could use it with any carrier but how do I know if its actually unlocked
