Actually Verizon and Sprint both have sims since they are LTE capable.
All Verizon iPhone 5S's are SIM unlocked due to FCC regulations on the LTE band they purchased a while back.
Sprints are locked by default under subsidy.
The people on the phone have no idea, clearly. Evidence here shows that a lot of launch day (and even a post launch day order) are going out.
okay so just trying to put the puzzle together. When you order your phone @ 4:24 EST, you were in the "delivers October 7-11" group correct? If so, that means if i order mine @ 9:45 am EST or even people who order the phone earlier, would possibly get an update of "preparing for ship" by early next week. Would anyone else agree?
So am I reading this right? Some customers who ordered a Gold 16GB AT&T (which is the most popular combo for the gold it seems) a day after launch, is receiving their phone before someone who ordered a Gold 64GB AT&T on launch day at 6am? *****?
Seems like there's a lack of rhyme or reason, down at Foxconn. The orders don't seem to be following any sort of logical sequence anymore.
I'm still waiting for the day when Apple magically ships all our phones off in one batch. Then we all can be happy at the same time.:

Everything about this launch has defied logic. No point in trying to make sense of anything, honestly.

MacRumors would shut down faster than the government did, if they shipped them all at the same time.
LOL That's great!
I mean the launch weekend ones... not necessarily all phones ordered up to now.

its logistic thing, I mean first you have to think of how many models they have (which are for launch markets, new models man
A1533 (GSM)
A1533 (CDMA)
A1453
A1457
A1530
And each comes in 3 colors and 3 storage sizes, then you have in the US for example, you get A1533 made for TMO and ATT. Also keep in mind they have to start making other models too maybe for new markets which they have contaracts with. Add to that the iPhone 5c, and you can easily see why supply is streched out.
Do Not Expect from ...
Its true that the apple store is down at the moment, but anyway dont expect from them because it is not the first time! Happened before a couple of days with no any updates!!!

I was in the October group (Did not have a date) I hope that helps. You have to look at Gold models as they have a delayed time line compare to the other two models. Hope that helps.
