Carrier Is Sprint and Verizon iPhone 7+ the same model?

[Needs]

I managed to get a iPhone 7+ on Sprint carrier. I intend to pay full price and not be under any carrier. Is the Sprint phone gonna be fully unlocked?

I will be using a AT&T / T-Mobile SIM card + overseas SIM card~

Just want to clarify because people always say either T-Mobile or Verizon only.

EDIT: oh, and do I need a Sprint account or something? (for reserve and pick up)

It is fully unlocked. I did the same today, no Sprint account required to buy outright. I just stuck my T-Mobile SIM into the phone before turning it on and then got it up and running right away. If you visit the tech specs for the iPhone 7/7 Plus on Apple's site, you can see that both Verizon/Sprint models have the exact same CDMA and GSM antenna bands.

Thank you for sharing!
If it really is otherwise, I can just do a return on the spot... right? hahaha

Did this exact thing today. Actually a couple hours ago. Bought the sprint model, removed sim and inserted my T-Mobile. All good

But if you do this will the wifi calling and VOLTE work? I read somewhere that someone got a Verizon iPhone and he couldn't get those features with when he put his att SIM card in?

I'm sure VOLTE works, but I haven't tried it yet. Wi-Fi Calling is working fine right now at home.

Did they ask for any information for a sprint account? I was going through the order process online to pick up in store and it wants Verizon/Sprint wireless number and a social so Apple can check your account.

Just to check, and if you remove your current T-Mobile SIM card and replaced it with any other SIM cards (such as AT&T), it will still continue to work... right?

It's unlocked. So it will work on any network.
