Disregard this. None of this is relevant in any way to your question.
The one issue with using a Verizon iPhone 4S is that unlocking it will cost quite a bit of money, somewhere along the lines of $120 for an IMEI unlock. You can, however, opt for an interposer like the R-SIM 7 or ones similar to it. It's essentially a hardware unlock rather than a permanent software unlock. It does restrict you based on iOS depending on whether or not the creators upgrade their software portion of it.
The iPhone 4S is a global device, meaning it works on all GSM and CDMA networks, regardless of which carrier your device is locked to.
