Nope in the US they are all locked to a network.

If you use the search facility for "States" or "america" you'll find this is asked and answered regularly.

I did (iphone 5, US, USA, america, states, new york, boston) and found nothing specific to the iphone 5.

Thanks for previous reply...

for future reference...found that will be available unlocked "at some stage" once intial wave of sales are complete (most likely end Oct/Nov) in the us for $650 (~505euro) vs. 680euro here

Yup and it will be the NA version so don't expect it to work on any LTE network in Europe. It will still work on HSPA+ but not LTE.

Ok, same would apply to 4/4s/5 with the various carriers, AT&T, Verizon etc.

If you get an AT&T phone it can be unlocked easily for a small fee.

Doubt anywhere is offering legit unlocks for the iPhone 5 yet
