Best Answer

You cannot.

Verizon = CDMA

AT&T = GSM (network that houses the iPhone)

CDMA and GSM are not compatable.

The iPhone currently cannot aquire Verizon due to the contract between Apple and AT&T. However, two Verizon employees told the press that Verizon will be available to the iPhone in January 2011. This is just another rumor of course, but there will be for sure and iPhone on Verizon either the summer of 2011 or 2012. If this Verizon iPhone happens, the sales will sky rocket and it would be the most used and successful phone in the world.

Can you use an itouch without AT and T?

yes. the itouch is the iPod touch, which is just an iPod with a bunch of cool features. the iPhone is with at&t. unless carriers like sprint and t mobile use sim cards, no. Verizon doesnt have sim cards, so you can't use it on there, either.

Sadly, no you can't. This is because Verizon Does not run on sim Cards. I sure wish they did, because I'd get an iPhone.


Can Verizon wireless sim cards be interchanged with other Verizon phones that use sim cards without having to activate a new phone?

No. The only Verizon Wireless phones that use SIM cards are Global Phones. SIM cards are only used for the GSM technology. Verizon Wireless runs off of the CDMA technology. So... if you switch the SIM card, the phone still won't work because it has nothing to do with the CDMA and that's what Verizon Wireless works off of. HOWEVER, you can activate a Verizon Wireless phone on an existing account by dialing *228 pressing SEND then choosing option 3.


Are AT&T SIM card compatible with phones from other carriers?

Verizon does not use sim cards in their phones (except the iPhone). So no you would not be able to use an AT&T Sim card in a new Verizon phone. sorry.
