You'll know if its unlocked when you put your local carrier's sim into it. If the sim is accepted and you have service then you're probably fine.

Depending upon where it came from though, you may or may not have LTE or HSPA+.

They're all GSM/LTE but support different bands. Compare the model number of your iPhone 5 with the specs:

You can check the phone's unlock status (and some other generic info as well) at http://www.imei.info by entering the IMEI.
