You are the worse kind of person. The know it all even though you have little experience with the subject matter. Try a Sprint iPhone in a LTE area then come back and contribute some meaningful dialogue.

Learn how to read!!! I am not the "worse kind of person" for stating the OBVIOUS!!!

And I have USED Sprint, and their pathetic LTE network. Must be nice to get AT&T 3G speeds on Sprint's LTE.

Think again next time!
 
I did actually call and Sprint is working on an LTE tower near me that could be completed within a month.

They did tell me a year ago that it may be done in 6 months, but I'll forgive that if it gets going to be ready within 2 months.

I would consider paying for hotspot if I can have 4g LTE

Hmm, while tethering is cheaper for sure, I don't like the idea of being dependent on your phone for all your cell data. It's draining battery fast enough, as it is.
 
If you cant get Sprint LTE coverage then its probably not worth it.

Not sure why the iPhone carrier lock matters at all. When I buy a phone, Im not planning on jumping around from carrier to carrier within the 2 year contract window. Also, I dont think the other iPhones work fully on the other carriers. You telling me a Verizon iPhone will get full AT&T services?

Yes the verizon 5s will work on both AT&T and tmobile, as well as any other gsm network in the us.
