can you not just unlock the phone and put in the verizon sim?
Stack: Does it need to be CDMA or GSM? I have an old Alltel phone that should be compatible, given that Verizon bought out a massive chunk of Alltel's service area. The only problem with the phone is that the battery in it will only last a day before needing to be charged, and I no longer have a charger cord for it. :/
