Big News: The Verizon iPhone 5 Is GSM Unlocked
September 21, 2012
The folks at iDownloadBlog have confirmed that the Verizon iPhone 5 is GSM unlocked. This means that you can own a Verizon iPhone and actually use it on another carrier, such as AT&T or T-Mobile.
To get this to work, iDownloadBlog actually cut down an AT&T Micro SIM to use it in a Verizon handset. However, you don’t have to do this yourself.
They state:
I can’t recommend cutting your own SIM, or even worse, cutting your SIM and placing a piece of tape on it and sticking it in your brand new iPhone 5, with a paper clip no less (I’m cray cray like that), but you should be able to pick up a Nano SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile, and use it on one of those respective networks. (sic)Take a look: This news is terrific for travelers who may need to switch out SIMs from time to time, and obviously for anyone that might get grow tired of their existing carrier.
