What's the deal unlocking my iPhone for use in San Jose? I need Verizon to un lock then I buy a sim card and install and buy minutes in costa rica? How much and does it suck the money through the data Internet ? Any help will help thank sin advance .JG
Just call Verizon. The Verizon iPhone is a CDMA phone but also has GSM and a roaming SIM in its tray. If your account is in good standing they will unlock it so you can use a local SIM when out of the country. In the US you will still be on Verizon's CDMA network.
By the way, the Verizon iPhone 5 ships unlocked.
