I believe you can take a VZW Apple iPhone to a
GSM Network, but as I understand it, you will not
be able to utilize its LTE Network ONLY its GSM
Network. Only on VZW will you be able to use both
CDMA & LTE, this is because VZW has to have a GSM
option for its VZW customers, who travel outside the U.S.
If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me because I'm
not totally sure I am correct as it pertains to this query.

Hi,
I have not seen any model numbers listed with
radio frequencies yet, but if I use the current
iPhone 5s as a starting point, there may be two
physically different phones, one for Sprint, and
one for ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile. It very well
may be the case that the new radio set supports
all carriers in a single hardware handset.
That said, although the radio frequencies may
work, Verizon's CDMA database will not support
non Verizon iPhones. Thus, you cannot take an
ATT iPhone and move it to Verizon. However, you
can take a Verizon iPhone and move it to GSM carriers like ATT and T-Mobile.
So, the Verizon iPhone can be moved to three out
of the four major carriers, and would be the best choice.
What I've said is valid on the 5s, but wait
until the fine print is out on the 6 before making any decisions.
Cheers.

Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely
stops you from asking the questions.

Hi,
I'm coming off contract with Verizon and
will continue with them for a while, but hope
to preserve my options of switching to a GSM carrier in the future.
If I get an unlocked 6 or 6+,will I have to
worry about whether the phone is CDMA or GSM?
This issue has always confused me.
Thanks in advance. Keith
