Now it is possible that VZW did follow the FCC's regulations where it will lock down the US-GSM providers BUT NOT ROAMING onto it, unlike Sprint it just kills it doesn't matter what SIM card it is, home service or roaming.

However you were right since nobody has put in a local provider's SIM to try it, we can't tell. Guess someone has to try. If VZW end up like Sprint, locked out of US-GSM providers, then it's just a bigger can of worm to open and figure out.

Think this is why the HardSPL has been delayed?
