iMessage works. Most of my apps I set not to use data.

Sounds like you have no data provisioned and voice only which is using the 1X 
channel.  So I suspect for example you can text but not iMessage or mms or use 
data.

   Just signal strength. At the moment, 4 of 5 bars. But hmmm, the other day 
when I made a call, we had trouble with signal dropping even with 4 of 5 bars 
so now I wonder what is going on.

Does it announce anything?  Data should be 3G AKA EV-DO on Verizon, 4G would be 
LTE in their case.

If you don’t have anything you may be connected to the 1X channel, do you have 
data service at all?

Scott,
   Its been quite a while but seems when I checked carrier status, it would 
announce 3G. It no longer does, so what am I getting? Its not LTE for its not 
enabled. Just curious because of what you told Mike and I realized I had not 
heard 3G in some time.

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.
