Technically if you buy the phone full price it should be unlocked. Or get the Verizon model device only ad will be 100 % unlocked.
Sorry to insist, I keep finding information and need to check. I need the following frecuencies and bands to be able to use Internet as per my carrier:
UMTS/GSM/AWS/850/1900/1700/2100 for LTE, I also need LTE band 4 UMTS which supposedly it's the same as AWS; For 2G and 3G I need both the 850 and 1900 MHZ bands. I also need band 28 or APT WITH the 700 MHZ frequency included as well. Is the Verizon unlocked model capable of this, as I cannot wait for the Sim-Free phone?

I am confused; the one with Verizon says CDMA between brackets, and here I need GSM. Although all the bands are there on the Verizon one, the fact that it says CDMA utterly confuses me. Is it compatible with GSM anyway? And will I be able to buy it without a Verizon account? I am looking at the A1660 which is the one on Verizon as the A1778 is only AT&T and T-Mobile and they supposedly don't work.
