Mike, this was true last century.:) Actually a little more recent than that
but is no longer the case, sort of.:)
First, yes, you can most definitely buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple directly
for example and slap a Verizon SIM in the phone and join the network no
problem. Is this officially supported, not exactly but Verizon runs a pretty
open network so phones should join and auto provision including LTE. This is
actually the part of the VZ network I worked on. The LTE channel now supports
voice so your calls route over the data channel and use GSM just like the rest
of the world now.:) Verizon gives you some other interesting features like
video over the voice channel and of course now that it’s all GSM / LTE you can
browse and talk on the same device at the same time.
Sprint it’s been my experience could accept other phones but locks
their network to the phones they sell. I have been told though I believe on
this list and as well on the eyes free list that you can now insert a Sprint
SIM in to an unlocked phone and it ill join their network. I don’t know about
their frequency usage other than they are doing a carrier aggregated thing
similar to T-Mobile across more than one band. One of the good things about
the 6S is it has the same radio chip across the product line so you get a wide
amount of support in one handset. It’s a true world phone.
Hope that helps.

With unlocked iphones, you can definitely choose at&t or t-mobile, with verizon
and sprint it's a bit more interesting, unless this has changed, you need to have
the model of iphone designed for these two carriers.

Scott G, you probably can answer this easily. I am on a family plan now but
may need to go on my own. If I buy an unlocked iPhone (likely the 6s) from any
source, any capacity, can I choose any plan from any carrier (likely Verizon)?
Reason I ask is I just looked at their site and did not see any 6s models, just
the plus.
I should probably go to a local store and at least look at the different
models and compare sizes. Could ask about plans too while there.
