All iPhones from iPhone 6 are cross carrier. The iPhone 5s will connect up to the LTE network but you won't be able to make calls with it. There is no CDMA support as mentioned above. Only the Verizon (possibly Sprint) models can be brought to other carriers as they feature both CDMA and GSM support.

The ATT 5S doesnt have any CDMA bands for Verizon.  You will have to get a Verizon phone.

I spoke with verizon they said it needs to have new sim card and be activated in their store. Hope they are right

It will not work. You need a Verizon version. The rep may have been confused by how you may have asked the question.
