With the iPhone 7, if I got it from Apple with the upgrade plan, would those be
unlocked as well, or would I be basically signing my life away to Sprint
forever doing that? My plan was to get that and then eventually try out a
TMobile sim in there to see what their coverage is like in areas I go as
opposed to what I have now with Sprint, but I don't want to lose the
grandfathered plan I can't go back to if trying TMobile makes me lose coverage
where I had it before. I'm pretty sure you can probably take it with a new
number to start out with and then port in the old one later, but is it just
that easy now to swap the sim and give it a good test run for a couple weeks
while both are still active?

Hi Phil, with a 6S+, as long as the phone is unlocked, you can port it to
where ever you wish. This is not the case with the 7 as Apple went through
unifying the hardware on the 6 / 6s series but started using different modems
again with the 7 / 7+.
However insure the phone is unlocked.
Also, Verizon may not be the way to go. As much as I’d love for you to use
my handiwork and there’s a lot of that in the Verizon Wireless network it’s not
the best network any more. It has fallen in to second place behind T-Mobile in
terms of network speed, features and call stability. With voice over LTE using
extended services signaling for example your calls go through faster and more
reliably on T-Mobile not to mention the new encoding schemes which the 6S can
take advantage of some of these features. T-Mobile also has a more developed
WiFi calling feature and is a lot more cost effective under normal conditions.
(***note*** on Verizon you can threaten to cancel and if you get the right rep
get an unlimited plan for $50 but it’s not offered as a matter of course)
If I were you I’d get a test SIM from Verizon and one from T-Mobile and try
each for the allowed 14 day period and pick the one that works best for you.
AT&T and Sprint are both years behind T-Mobile and VZ so either way, you’ll
be happier.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Here's a question for the techies on the list. I have an I phone 6S plus
that I purchased through the Apple store, and with AT&T as a carrier, and I'm
thinking about switching to Verizon wireless. Can I Port this phone over to
Verizon, or is the whole GSM/CDMA thing still happening?
