AT&T = GSM

Verizon = CDMA

The two technologies are incompatible.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Nope, different network (radio) technologies.

Actually though, if you get a new iPhone 5 on Verizon, you WILL be able to use it on AT&T  Smiley Happy

Verizon has verified that their iPhone 5  is AT&T/T-Mobile connectable (i.e. not carrier-locked). At least in HSPA mode, not for LTE though.
