Aren't all Verizon 5s phones unlocked by law?

Hello B. Bass, I am sorry if there was any confusion. This phone is locked to the carrier listed, Verizon. When we list a cellular carrier on the title of our items, this indicates that the phone is locked and can only be used with that carrier. If you are looking for an Unlocked GSM phone or a phone for a specific carrier, you can return to our listings. Please use the search field on the left hand side and search ""unlocked"" or for your preferred carrier's name, such as "Verizon," "Sprint," "T-Mobile," ""AT&T;,"" or others.Thank You, Hello B.

Not sure about the law but if It's not a Verizon phone Verizon will not activate the phone on their network trust me I tried!!!

Yes phone should be unlocked if it states it's a non contract. As far as warranty it might just be the standard warranty given through Verizon. I'm not exactly sure on the warranty part though.

Apparently not. The product listing was misleading and the phone may appear in searches for unlocked phones, but the device is not unlocked. Learned that the hard way myself.

No. Sim card is a different size in the 5s than 4s; a different cutter is necessary.

You can use the iphone 5 in any state of USA or even other countries if it's unlocked. You can use theiphone 5 to any state of USA even if it is not unlocked provided you are using the iphone5 to the companies where is locked.

No it's not but u might be blessed to take it to the Apple Store and they may be able to unlock it cause each iPhone is made for each provider

All these phones have 1 year apple warranty. Oldest were released in SEP 2013. So the oldest 5s you will buy will have a warranty atleast till SEP 2014. ALL VERIZON are GSM FACTORY unlocked.

Most cell phones sold in North America---especially on contract ---are "LOCKED" to a particular cellular carrier. They can ONLY be used on that carrier's network, so you can't switch to another carrier without "UNLOCKING" it first. For the phone to be unlocked you have to bypass the software restrictions on that Mobil device. If it's locked you can't even remove the sims card. You can find several places online where you can buy the codes to unlock phones, I don't know how safe that is, or if it's actually legal. I have only purchased an UNLOCKED cell. I hope this helps you out, that's the only way I know how to explain it. ~~Ragna~~

No because Verizon's has a different system that doesn't use SIM card like AT&T; or tmobile.

For an UNLOCKED iPhone 5, they will work with Verizon , straight talk, sprint, virgin mobile, credo mobile , metro pcs, boost mobile, and freedom pop. You could also talk to the carrier and ask them if whatever iPhone you're looking to buy will work with it. Hope I helped.

I understand that most phones are locked, that is, they can only be used on the network through which you buy it.

It is not because it's through Verizon but they are now making It to be unlocked by the carrier to any other carrier

I'm pretty sure that all iPhone 5s have the same port, which I believe they call a lightning port(?). It shouldn't matter what carrier you use.

I don't think so but u can certainly ask themIt's easy to unlock just have ur carrier to do it
