My last rant blog post was about how my new iPhone 5S A1533 Verizon model (ME344LL/A) worked on AT&T out-of-the-box (i.e. no unlocking required). Here it is with a Vodafone UK SIM card in it connected to their 3G network. It looks like it would work on their 4G network too but I couldn't test as I'm a pay as you go customer and Vodafone do not yet support 4G for cheap bastards non-pay monthly customers.
Note about Vodafone 4G: Vodafone UK operate their 4G network at the 800 MHz frequency or LTE band 20. Like the iPhone A1457 model sold in the UK, my iPhone A1533 model supports that same LTE band. Again, with Vodafone not supporting 4G for pay as you go customers, I couldn't test it out.

Note about Vodafone Pay as you go: If you plan an iPhone on this Vodafone Pay as you go then you'll have to update the APN settings each time you insert that Vodafone SIM (it doesn't save the settings). Within the iPhone Settings screen, select Mobile (or Cellular if your phone is set to US English), and then Mobile Data Network. Within each APN field (there are three of them), change it from wap.vodafone.co.uk to pp.vodafone.co.uk
