Almost all the iPhones are now sold unlocked, which means they are compatible with any voice carrier, text, and data. However, if you are holding an older iPhone, it might work with only a particular carrier. The original carrier of your iPhone can be found using the IMEI number. If your contract expired you should be able to unlock the phone through the carrier. Just give them a call and ask.
Also if your phone is still under contrack you will receive more money for a Verizon and AT&T phone rather than for Sprint, T-Mobile or other smaller companies.
