I am shopping for a used or refurbished 5S and need clarification about
carrier specifications. At present, I have two IOS devices a 4S which
is activated on Verizon, and a 4 which is activated on Page Plus. Page
Plus operates on the Verizon network which of course is CDMA.
Until this morning, I was under the impression that if I bought a 5S,
all I had to do to get it to work was to buy a Sim from either carrier
and the phone would work. I had also thought that I could even go to a
GSM carrier if I wished, and the 5S would work if I had a sim from the
chosen GSM carrier. However, in reading the specs on a 5S from one
vender, the language indicated that this particular 5S would work only
on the Verizon network, specifically that it would not work on GSM
networks.
Therefore, I post this message asking for a clarification as I really
don't want to make a stupid and very avoidable mistake. Thanks in
advance for feedback.
