The sim from your 5 should work in a 5s. I'd go with unlocked for the
flixibility it offers. Specifically I took an unlocked iPhone from att
to t-mobile with no issues and am now considering taking it from
t-mobile to cricket wireless. If you do any traveling outside the
united states you will also probably be able to buy a local sim card
for phone and data. As an example of what this could save you I read
an article about someone paying $180 for 800 megs of international
data on ATT when traveling in europe. With an unlocked phone they were
able to pay $30 for 2 gigs of data.

I'm wanting to learn about unlocked iPhones should I decide at
some point to upgrade my phone. I currently have an iPhone 5 with
AT&T but that contract ends in a few months. I was just on the
Apple site playing around to check the cost of an unlocked 64GB
iPhone 5S. One of the options was to buy a SIM-free phone with the
stipulation that the user would need a GSM-compatible SIM. Would
the SIM in my current iPhone 5 meet this need in a 5S model or has
the SIM card form factor changed between the 5 and 5S models?
I'm almost afraid to ask this but is there an advantage to buying
an unlocked iPhone if financing is not an issue and the buy-down
price of entering into a contract is not a factor? I've been happy
with my AT&T service but my own experience with this sort of thing
tells me that I'll save money in the long-run by having an
unlocked phone. Of course, I believe when my contract ends with
AT&T, I can have them unlock my iPhone 5 if it is still meeting my
needs.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this subject.
