The GSM unlocked Verizon iPhone 5 could be the best thing to carry on an overseas trip. This particular handset that commenced shipping just recently can supposedly even work on AT&T and T-Mobile 3G networks, apart from Verizon’s 4G LTE connectivity in the US.
However, buyers cannot expect AT&T’s fast 4G LTE connectivity due to variation in frequency bands. The service provider’s HSPA+ or 4G networks can be conveniently accessed by inserting a nano-SIM card into the device. Even in case of T-Mobile, the same kind of card could be an alternative to switch to its 3G network.
Arriving as good news to aesthetic hands which are well-versed with shaping the AT&T microSIM card, the phone may work effectively on the HSPA+ network with the toned card onboard. However, it could be the last thing an enthusiastic Apple fan would slip into a brand new cookie. This piece of news was revealed by MacRumors who have received a confirmation from iDownloadBlog regarding the Verizon device’s multifarious capability.
As for a fact, all these observations are part of the phones purchased on contract through the big red carrier. One of the main points why the device won’t function on AT&T’s LTE network is its incompatibility with the 4 and 17 LTE frequency bands employed by the US and other Canadian network providers. In terms of other international carriers, all Verizon iDevice owners have to do is obtain a nano-SIM card from the corresponding GSM service provider and use the phone on those networks.
All in all, the GSM unlocked Verizon iPhone 5 should be an ideal choice for travelers.
