I have no physical proof I can show you. But I can say that AT&T Verizon and sprints iPhone 4S are all the same hardware so, just like if you went and bought a iphone 4s right from apple then it should be able to be activated on all those networks.... Makes sense right?

Actually they are the same exact phone, they are just programmed differently. They contain the exact same hardware. The Verizon one can be unlocked but it is programmed only to work on gsm carriers outside of the US. I've looked into this and if someone disagrees I'd be glad to show my sources.

You r correct, but if a Gevey SIM is used then it will work any phone any carrier. Although I don't recommend that. The best thing to do is get an AT&T iPhone and have it factory unlocked, unless you can get one already unlocked at a good price.
CLICK THE THANKS IF I HELPED!

You can unlock a Verizon 4s with gevey sim card. Search YouTube as it has video showing you he takes his Verizon phone with Verizon and then puts the gevey sim card in and the. Uses at&t sim card. I will see if I can find it again bc I have a 4s and was wondering the same thing.

---------- EDIT ----------

Here is the link btw.
