I have ATT service would unlocked sprint or verizon 5s work?

[utbaseball30]

Was wondering if I buy an out of contract sprint or verizon iphone 5s, can I use ATT SIM card with it since it is unlocked?

I remember last year people were doing this with sprint phone

The Verizon one should work if I'm not mistaken. The Sprint one i believe will not.

The Verizon ones are reported to work on AT&T, but you won't get LTE.

EDIT: This is incorrect, I was thinking of the 5 and its limitations on LTE bands.

Verizon one. You WILL get LTE.

Will mobile hotspot work also? Or would you have to pay if you are not signed up for it?

You absolutely WILL get LTE on AT&T. With the 5S. The 5 was the the phone with limited LTE radios.

Mobile hotspot is a carrier based deal. It will work on any device (so long as you are paying for it). Or... wait for jailbreak and you will have for free.

I can confirm that the Sprint 5s also works on ATT.

Just tried it on my friends 5s (Sprint, Early Upgrade). I popped in my ATT nano sim, and the phone rebooted itself, and popped up with the 4g/LTE signal after about 30 seconds - a minute.

I stand corrected. Great news.

I thought sprint iphone 5s was carrier locked to sprint only in the us, that only verizon 5s are truly sim unlocked
