Sorry about the trouble with your phone, thomashamka. You are correct in thinking that the iPhone 5s is unlocked to be used with a local SIM card when you're using the phone overseas.

If you're still having trouble, I would recommend reaching out to your local provider for assistance with programming. JenniferH_VZW Follow us on Twitter www.twitter.com/vzwsupport
It is supposedly unlocked from the factory. You should be able to activate it with the Finland carrier SIM card.
Hey, I just visited my apple repair shop, they say it is locked to verizon. I can provide the imei if You could check it.
Don't post the IMEI number on this public forum. The iPhone 5s is factory unlocked. Try it for yourself.
