I bought an iPhone 5 a year ago and all is well. It is unlocked and works with T-Mobile (GSM).

Speaking with Apple support the other day I was told the phone was locked to Verizon (CDMA).

Anybody know how that is even possible?

Thanks in advance.

The Verizon 5 phone is factory unlocked. You don't need to do anything to use a different SIM /carrier.
