I found some information: FCC Filing and carrier bands. I know Verizon would have to authenticate the phone. I also read where the MEID maybe an issue.
FCC OCT Detail: Documents filed with the FCC for the 950XL
OET List Exhibits Report
950XL BANDS:
LTE TDD 2300-2400 (40), 2570-2620 (38);
LTE FDD 700 (12), 700 (17), 700 (28), 800 (20), 850 (5), 900 (8), 1700/2100 (4), 1800 (3), 1900 (2), 2100 (1), 2600 (7);
WCDMA 850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100; and GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
The article at Droid-Life.com had this information for unlocked phone users. Link is below.

No. It won't. Take the WCDMA listing on 950XL frequency bands and change it to UTMS. The WCDMA is a GSM network technology and is equivalent to UTMS. Therefore the 950XL is incompatible with the Verizon Wireless network.

I don't understand what you said. The 950xl operates on all the same frequencies as the 735 and more so there is no reason why it shouldn't work if verizon allows it. /erizon is trying to force people to buy there locked proprietary phones and i will never do that again

There is no CDMA radios or LTE band 13. The 950XL will not work on the Verizon Wireless network. Learn more about the frequencies used by Verizon Wireless and you will see the phone does not support those frequencies.

FWIW, I gave up on waiting, and upgraded my HTC 8x on VZW to the MSFT Lumia 735 when the 100.00 discount was in effect.
Verified that it is supported on the Windows device recovery tool. Now updating the 735 to Win 10 as a Windows Insider on the Slow Ring.

win 10 is the only way to go good move. I would take the 735 but it is a locked phone and too small in size. The 950xl according to microsoft has all the connectivity of the 735 and more so there is no reason it can't work if verizon will allow it

look at the 950 specs from microsofts website you can see it has more capability than the lumina 735 which verizon sells so should work

The 735 has these bands
CDMA network bands: BC1 (1900 MHz), BC0 (850 MHz)
- CDMA max data speed DL: Rev 0 /A 2.4 Mbps /3.1 Mbps
- CDMA max data speed UL: Rev 0 /A 153.2 kbps /1.8 Mbps
Whereas the 950/XL does not and like Tidbits said this topic has been beaten to death. Take some time and read the posts here.
