Altough I have read this at many places I'd like to hear it from some indian user that a verizon iphone 5 works on indian gsm carriers flawlessly?
 
Not a user of iPhone 5 but yes this information is true. There is some US regulation for CDMA (or specifically verizon only and not sprint, i don't know) due to which verizon cannot lock the GSM part.
 
Sounds interesting, should import a few then :p
As for sprint, i read on some forums that gsm users are not able to send texts on an i5 sold by sprint, however they reported no problems with verizon phones.

From what I have heard not all service providers are working. A friend of mine tried TataDocomo and it didnt work.
He tried Idea and it did.

Strange coz if a phone is GSM unlocked, it has to be unlocked for all carriers, and if locked its locked for all?
Maybe Verizon uses Idea's signal for roaming in India?

May be its due to with improper sim cutting?
