Verizon Wireless today confirmed that its version of the Apple iPhone 5 is being sold unlocked, and that the device will not be locked at some point in the future through a software update or other means. Owners of the iPhone 5 discovered recently that the Verizon iPhone 5 SIM card can be replaced with an AT&T SIM card and work on AT&T's HSPA network. Verizon Wireless spokesperson Brenda Raney told the Associated Press that it will not relock the iPhone or prevent it from working on GSM networks. Sprint's version of the iPhone 5 is locked. Customers in good standing can have their Sprint iPhone 5 unlocked for international use after three months. AT&T only unlocks iPhones that are no longer tied to a contract.
