I destitution to buy a new cell phone (used) but the phone I would like is for T-Mobile and I use Verizon Wireless. Is it possible to have it changed so that I can use it for Verizon?
Pathetic but no. It does not matter even if the phone is "unlocked". T-Mobile and Verizon use two unalike and incompatible communications technologies. T-Mobile & AT&T are compatible, with GSM technology, are activated through use of SIM cards. These cards can be swapped out to divert providers making GSM phones (unlocked ones) carrier independent. Verizon uses CDMA technology. CDMA carriers in the U.S. order proprietary handsets that are linked to one carrier only and are not card-enabled.

This is because the fresh enumeration called for unshakeable communication between the shoddy stations and all the handsets.
