What you want can not be done. ATT uses GSM technology. VZW uses CDMA.

 

Even if it was the same technology, VZW does not allow a device on their system that is not VZW branded.

Yeah, you can unlock an AT&T iphone and take it to T-Mobile, or any other GSM carrier, but taking it to a CDMA carrier like VzW is physically impossible. It'd be like trying to listen to an FM radio station using an AM radio.

I know estimates place about a million iPhones on T-Mobile even though they don't officially sell the iPhone, so that's probably where all the AT&T->Verizon iphone confusion comes from...

Idk if you have a verizon iphone or not, but no where on the phone does it say verizon, except for the carrier info at the top info bar.

 

Even then thats not a brand.
