You can switch carriers all you want, of course, but you would need a Verizon phone to use on the Verizon network. If you have an unlocked phone, you would want to call and verify it with customer service. Their number is 1-800-922-0204, by the way.

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.
