Best Answer

No. AT&T is a GSM band carrier, and Verizon is a CDMA carrier. GSM uses a SIM card, and CDMA has the carrier data encoded onto the phone itself. Furthermore, they use different frequencies, so even if you somehow could get one on the other, it wouldn't be able to get a signal.

Short answer: It's impossible.

No you cannot use a Verizon phone on AT&T as Verizon uses a CDMA network (does not require a SIM card) and AT&T uses a GSM network (does require a SIM card). The two networks are not even remotely compatible.

Can you buy an unlocked cell phone and use it with your current cell phone plan?

Sometimes... With T-Mobile and AT&T you can used the cellphones offered by these two companies with eachothers service. For example if you buy an unlocked i-phone (which is an AT&T phone) you can use it with T-Mobile. You can do this because they both use the GSM network which requires SIM cards. However you cannot use an unlocked sprint or Verizon type phone with T-Mobile or AT&T because they do not use the GSM network.

TMobile and Verizon are incompatible. As are every other two separate phone services. The only way to use a TMobile sim card in a Verizon phone, is to get the Verizon "unlocked". You can do this at most mobile phone shops, but not all of them and most likely not an official Verizon or TMobile shop. This will cost you.
