Nope. Totally different Technology. Verizon uses CDMA and Cingular uses GSM CDMA carriers have better coverage in the United States, GSM service has a larger global footprint There ARE Hybrids out there. I think Samsung makes one. But I'm assuming the question has more to do with NOT buying a new phone if you don't have to.

Verizon phones do not work with SIM cards.

My Blackberry curve is Verizon, which doesn't use SIM cards but there is a slot for a SIM card so I would imagine you could.

You can use a Verizon phone with another CDMA carrier (the other CDMA carriers in the US are Sprint and Alltel). However, they might refuse to activate your phone since they did not sell it.

Can you use a Verizon cell phone with cingular plan?

No, you can not use a Verizon provided phone on a Cingular network, unless it is an unlocked phone. Most of cell phones you get with service provider (e.g. Verizon) plans and deals are locked to that particular network and can not be used with another service provider's network unless you unlock the phone.AnswerAlso - Cingular (now AT&T) is a GSM carrier and Verizon Wireless is a CDMA carrier. Each uses different cell phone technology making them incompatable. You can use an AT&T phone and switch it to a go phone once your contract runs out or visa versa. Sometimes pay as you go phones are the best option.

i need to find out can i track another cell phon that is not on my plan. I am with cingular and they have verizon.?

It is not possible to track cell phones when you are not the owner. If you have a family plan, some companies will allow you to track phones on your plan, but there are regulations about tracking other phones. Sometimes the police can obtain a warrant to track a phone, but they need to present hard facts to the judge why it would be necessary. Verizon has strict policies to protect their customers.
