Can an UNLOCKED S3 operate on Verizon & at&t??

[LegalAmerican]

So I am new to the S3, and I am looking to buy one today. I am curious as to why the UNLOCKED version is so much more expensive. I understand the bootloader side of things, but is that all it means? Or can you get an unlocked S3 to operate either on GSM or CDMA/LTE? Any help would be awesome!

From what I've heard you can't. And its more expensive because its not covered by warranty, which means you have to buy it at full retail. Also I believe Verizon and at&t operate on different frequencies. I think you could only use it on GSM (at&t and t mob)

I might be wrong, the s3 may be a global/world phone. I know the new iPhone can. But I'm only 62.924% sure that you can't do it with the s3

I might have confused you. It also depends on if the unlocked phone is from at&t or Verizon.. you can't take something unlocked from at&t and run on Verizon or take a Verizon unlocked phone and run on at&t. Unless it has that world/global capability. Like the HTC reszound. I believe it can on both networks
