tmobile.com is currently selling the 16 GB iphone 5 for $579. Are there any other sites that have a lower or comparable price and can still be used on the TM network? I have the TM prepaid plan if that makes any difference.
 
You'd have to buy a used one at your own discretion. Other stores will have it at the same price. The only time you'd find it significantly cheaper is by signing a contract with a carrier. Otherwise it'll be at MSRP
 
Swappa, Craigslist, or eBay.

Will any iphone 5 work or do I need to buy a specific model?
 
Would one of these work?

They say they're unlocked but also say Verizon and AT&T.

Depending on when the device was shipped, they either come factory unlocked or soft-locked, meaning a restore will make the device unlocked. Buying any second handed devices are at your own risk.
 
So factory unlocked is good?

If I buy a factory unlocked model, does it come with a sim card or do I need to buy that separately?you can get them with and without SIM cards.
