Let me restate this so it is clearer: The S5 IS a GSM phone, I will suspend my Verizon contract when I go to Baja. I want to put a Mexican Tel co Sim in the phone to use there (I have done this in many countries with other phones)
All I want to know is: Does the S5 ship unlocked or do I need the unlock code.
and if anyone has done that I'd like to hear from them.
The posts on several sites including the Android users site is split about 2/3 - 1/3 in that the S5 Verizon labeled phone ships unlocked.
That is all I am trying to verify.
I will not be using Verizon in Mexico, And if the phone is GSM as the S5 is then it will work with the Mex sim card...if it is unlocked.
Thanks for all the replies but I still need to hear from someone who is using a Verizon S5 in Mex.
