Hi,
I have an opportunity to have a Verizon iphone 5 sent to me from the USA. I know that they already come unlocked and have a nano-sim card slot. I want to know if i can get a chinese cellular network on it. Let me know wha t my option are. I hear of people cutting thier micro sim cards to fit the nano slot and stuff. I wanna know if i can get an iphone 5 to work in china.

Be sure it is unlocked. If unlocked will work any where. I don't know the China release date, but India gets them Nov. 2. Cutting a SIM may work.
You need not worry if the phone is unlocked or not before you arrive in China. There are many, many shops in China that specialize in unlocking locked phones. The cost is minimal -- something like RMB 50, maybe even less. Once you have arrived, just ask any one of the locals in the place where you will be living.

There is no unlock for my iPhone 4 on IOS 5 because of the baseband and thats been over one year, IOS 6 on iPhone 5 will not be cracked for some time, best to buy an unlocked iPhone.
