I know that Verizon phones are unlocked but how will the Verizon 5S perform on AT&T's network? The iPhone 5 worked but it was unable to get LTE, has that changed? I'm thinking of picking up a Verizon 5S to use on AT&T but would like an idea of what to expect, thanks! :confused:
 
My wife brought her Verizon iPhone over to AT&T in early February. Everything works perfectly.
 
If I buy a VZW iPhone 5s, it will work on ATT as people above said, but is it GSM unlocked for overseas carriers as well, out of the box?

Yes.

Someone above posted a link to a thread with extensive information about it.
 
How about a US cellular version model A1453? Will it work on ATT and other GSM carriers?
 
Ported to AT&T 3 days ago and my 5s works flawless now but it was having issues and tech support had to reprovision the device twice

I wonder why this happens for some folks. My wifes Verizon iPhone 5s worked perfectly on AT&T after the switch. She only had to do a restart.

I had a Sony/Ericsson phone I purchased on Ebay about 7 years ago and AT&T had all sorts of issues getting it provisioned correctly...

Not sure but I googled the issue and told the tech what I thought it was- he laughed at me but then end up at provisioning too- he could have saved himself about 20 mums on our call
 
Will a Verizon iPhone 5 be able to use T Mobile LTE? Anyone know for sure?
 
I paid full price for a Verizon iPhone 5s and use it on AT&T. Simultaneous voice and data and LTE work great.
