Verizon iPhone 5 international use?

So I have an iPhone 5 from Verizon and I'm studying abroad in Spain right now. Right now it shows that I don't have any signal for calls so I'm assuming my phone is locked. Can I call verizon to unlock it of should I get an international SIM card in Spain?

Get an International SIM card from Spain and try it on. You might be surprised to see it work. If still you get no signal, then factory unlock the phone. You can mail this person (arghyle@rocketmail.com) who can help you get the phone factory unlocked.

Hi, I have the same problem, though I bought my iphone 5 in UAE (Dubai) but all attempts to use it in Nigeria was unsuccessful because it keeps searching for network unsuccessfully and Apple online Support is unable to help!

  • Is Verizon iPhone 5S unlocked for international carriers? I'm traveling abroad to Taiwan for a month, and I'm just wondering if my iphone 5s is already unlocked so that I can actually use the sim card from carriers in Taiwan or do I have to call Verizon to have them unlock it. ( 2 years ago when I traveled out of US, I had to call verizon for a "international unlock" on the iphone 4S i had, do I have to do the same for iphone 5s?)
