Default carrier unlock and GSM

Have a new RAZR M and am really loving it so far. When I picked it up I asked the sales guy if he would unlock it. He said it is already unlocked and can take sim cards from other carriers. Anyone know if this is true? Specifically, I'm wondering if the phone would work with an ATT sim from a pre-paid Gophone.

It won't work on the AT&T network.

CDMA is different than GSM
if the razr was a world phone it might have worked(i think i read that somewhere) but you won't even get the razr m to work on sprint because they use different cdma bands. unless it is included in this phone can someone let me know?

In Settings->Network Mode, my RAZR M has settings for LTE/CDMA and GSM/UMTS. As well as something called "Global", which I guess means everything.

A lot of people have been successful at getting Verizon world phones to connect to AT&T or T-Mobile voice/text, but data has been a whole different obstacle. Last I knew, Verizon was putting security in the radio files that prevent it from connecting to US gsm data services, but not to other countries'. Of course with the encrypted bootloader, changing radio files becomes impossible. If you bought the Dev Razr M, then there would be more options for hacking, but I don't know if it would be successful.
