i know there are three different types of iphone 5, att,verizon, and international, and i also know that verizon's iphone 5 come unlocked but my question is which version is better? i dont care about lte or 4g etc i just want 3g and does cricket iphone 5 use a nano sim? because verizon iphone 5 does, so if i buy an verizon iphone can i use it in cricket? thanks

No you can't. The Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked for use on gsm networks. CDMA networks like cricket do not allow you to bring unlocked devices to their network. Can't imagine why you would want to use it on Cricket anyway. Get Straight talk or even Tmobile 2G edge data would be better than using it on Cricket.
