Are you sure it is not the way Verizon does this for the 4s?
That is, you can get it unlocked for free but only for international use.
I've used my Verizon 4s quite well in Asia with a local sim card.
When you do that I always see in the notification center that
location services is on.
I presume this is to allow the phone to verify it is out of the U.S.

For those of us who purchased or plan to purchase, the verizon
iPhone 5, may be happy to know that the phone comes unlocked and can
be used on any GSM network. Several sources are reporting such as
the New York Times, CNET, etc. I also confirmed this from verizon
customer service. Whether this was by designed or not, I don't
know. But this is a welcomed surprise. I'm happy to know that I can
use my phone on other networks if need be.
