How to switch carrier from Sprint? (iPhone 5s)

I'm hearing a lot of mixed things on this topic. Sprint says they can unlock your phone with a MSL code on their official unlocking policy, yet iPhones don't use MSL. I've heard that sprint is CDMA and I would only be able to use my phone on another CDMA network, yet the iPhone 5s can use GSM too. I even have sprint sim card installed so I'm not sure if my phone can use both networks. I contacted their costumer service hotline and barely understood what the lady said on the line so I'm here stuck with terrible cell service while paying a ridiculous amount of money.
1. Will my phone only be restricted to use only sprint?
2. If can, how can I request my phone to be unlocked from sprint and wha
3. Is my phone CMDA or GSM? Can use only one or both with my sprint iPhone?

1. Yes
2. You can request an unlock from Sprint if you are eligible which will unlock the GSM side of the iPhone for use with non-domestic carriers.
3. Your phone is both. The problem is Verizon is the only other CDMA network in the US and they will not accept carry in phones.
Sell the iPhone you have and use the proceeds to buy a new one on another carrier.
