Re: using iPhone on any carrier
Yep, seems like verizon ones are the ones to get, can use them everywhere else but Sprint. You can do it two ways with Straightalk. You can use the unlocked sim slot, or you can do the bring your own device thing and they will set it up on the Verizon network. It depends which one provides better coverage. I don't know if used VZW 5S's can do the bring your own transfer, I know that with Sprint, it's 5 and lower on iPhones. - Original Message - From: Julian To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2014 7:21 PM Subject: Re: using iPhone on any carrier Hi Pinky, Verizon's iPhone five, 5C and 5S have their Sim port unlocked which means that you should be able to use any GSM carriers Sim card with those phones. I don't believe the same is true however for the for S and earlier models. Sent from my iPhone On May 8, 2014, at 5:11 PM, "Pinky" wrote: I have a friend who bought an used IPhone.

using iPhone on any carrier
I have a friend who bought an used IPhone. I think it is an used iPhone from Verizon. He wanted to get this iPhone connected to Straight Talk. An email he sent me stated you could go to any carrier and use their sim card and it will work. I was always understanding that certain IPhone would work with certain carriers even though they are unlocked. I thought that if you had a iPhone from A T & T you could not use that iPone at Verizon. But I thought if you had a IPhone from A T & T you could use it on Straight Talk as they both used the same kind of iPhone. So can anyone share some light on this subject?
