Wrong Sprint and Verizon use CDMA while other networks use GSM. You need a Global Ready phone for it to work in Europe. But max speeds you'll probably get is 3G.

either way, they aren't interchangeable.

So the AT&T iPhone 5s is unlockable along with the T-Mobile 5s too. But only for GSM networks not CDMA. The Verizon 5s comes factory unlocked so you can use it on Verizon's CDMA network, or AT&T, T-Mobile, or any other network that uses GSM network. So the Verizon is the only one that you can change carriers with right out of the box. =)

A hot dog from ikea was $0.30...with fries and drink $1.35.

There were giant families buying boxes of hot dogs...McDonald's is considered high brow.

My friends used to drive 45-60 min to Ikea just to mess around in the store and eat the cheap food.

Since T-mobile no longer does contracts you have to pay full retail. So your better off buying it from apple and they are all supposed to be factory unlocked when you do.

In Romania?

McDonalds is considered a high class restaurant. People get dressed up in their best clothes to go (it's uncommon to see someone wearing non casual at McDs)

Romania is a strange place, but it's also heritage, so yeah haha

This is true if you want an unlocked phone the best one to get is the factory unlocked one from Apple but it's only GSM unlocked and won't work on Verizon. But the Verizon one is also Factory unlocked and will work exactly like the one you get from Apple plus it will work on Verizon.

I forget which GSM carrier it is, but one of them uses a 3G/4G band that nobody else does. I think it's T-Mobile, but either way if you don't have the right handset you won't get anything over 2G data coverage

[Luke Girard]

The iPhone 5s has the same antenna in all of them so they pick up all of the same frequencies it just depends on what carrier its for because they lock all the other frequencies. The Verizon iPhone 5s has the most unlocked frequencies/bands and is compatible with every carrier except sprint =)

My sister had a disneyland addiction. Was getting like 15 or 20% discounts/free parking/no black out dates. She went every week for almost a year. My niece is disney institutionalized it was insane. I have to say though I do enjoy "glow with the show"
