Whichever carrier you choose, that is the carrier the device will be locked to.

what does Inland carrier mean?

from what I gather, it is the name of a specific wireless carrier.

A thing about the Verizon 4S variant of iPhone... those are only un-lockable by Verizon for INTERNATIONAL use - outside the USA... so the OP could get the device unlocked by Verizon and could be used on T-Mobile outside the US. But not on T-Mobile in the US.
