I wonder if that fix also locks the phone, Apple is known to not tell every thing only the things that people like to hear.

Verizon's iPhone 5 runs mainly off CDMA but has a SIM card slot for the Verizon 4G LTE nano-sim. Right now Verizon's iPhone 5 is SIM unlocked out of the box meaning you can use it on any international carrier without having to physically go and unlock the phone. Technically it works on GSM too.
