No you can't they use different radios. T-Mobile uses GSM while Verizon albeit has a sim card still uses CDMA.

Yes, I just did it yesterday; however, VZ is sometimes reluctant to do it since they state it won't work so explain it is unlocked and you know also has been used on AT&T and ask them to try...I had no issues with activation and rep had very little to say.

Also, first check ESN /MEID if it is eligible  (Google search) and then you have more of a solid case.
