I'll confirm the same result as Neal. I received my iPhone 5 on February 7th from ATT and had to go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Triple Click Home and select VoiceOver there. I also had to turn on VoiceOver which I believe was the first option under the Accessibility menu.

I had to do it in settings. As for Verizon coverage, they claim to have more US coverage than all of the other providers combined. Of course, that's just their advertising, but I travel a bit and I am rarely without coverage. There is now a tower on Isle Royale which is one of the few places I could not get a signal a few years ago.

I have used AT&T and now use Verizon. They are quite comperable. Both work well in my area.
