Greetings
I have a quick question regarding the Verizon (A1429) iPhone 5.
I live in Germany (US Military) and would like to purchase the Verizon model, so that I am able to use LTE in South Korea (my next assignment later this year)...but I have read conflicting reports on whether the Verizon model comes AUTOMATICALLY unlocked right out of the (sealed) box? Does Verizon need to make in UNLOCKED upon purchase? Or would I be able to simply put in my nano sim card here in Germany and that is that?
I had purchased 2 unlocked iPhone 5's directly from apple online...1 of them arrived (for my wife) but the other one has been lost in the mail as of right now and I'm not sure when/if it will show up...my original plan was to get by with GSM here in Germany and also in South Korea...but now I am having 2nd thoughts and want to add the LTE possibility if I can by purchasing the Verizon model.
Should it come automatically unlocked, I'll likely purchase one off ebay or have a family member or friend back int he states purchase one for me and mail it to me.
Thanks for any help on the Verizon model!
Mike
