“Hi Anil! I have a Verizon locked iPhone 6 Plus. I’ll be traveling to South East Asia for a few months and would like to use the phone while traveling by buying a sim card in each country I visit. I should be able to get the phone unlocked, but am finding conflicting info on whether I’ll be able to use a Verizon phone even if it is unlocked. I know that traditionally Verizon phones only worked on CDMA but have also read that newer phones are compatible with both CDMA and GSM networks.

Do you know if Verizon iPhone 6 phones are compatible to use over GSM networks in Asia? Thanks in advance!
”

The iPhone 6 Plus is compatible with both GSM and CDMA so you shouldn’t have any problems provided the phone is unlocked:

You can double-check with an Apple store to confirm if you have any doubts 🙂
