So, has who got an i5s with VZW successfully tested another carrier's SIM yet to see if it works?
 
Why wouldn't it work? Apple hasn't touched the cell radio inside the 5S.

Well, I had to call Apple earlier about an issue with my i5s already and we're still trouble shooting. Anyway, the tech said that, yes, it is unlocked for international but not domestic. So I was wondering if anyone tried.

Sad that even Apple techs don't know their own products. Though they may have only been referring to the CDMA side but there aren't a ton of countries that use CDMA.

In any event, yes, it does work. I'm getting TMO LTE, too. Great combo of a phone.
