Unlocked ATT iPhone not working with verizon sim card?
Only the internet and messages work but calls do not work
Verizon is a CDMA carrier so the phone would have to be activated/flashed to them in order for it to work in terms of its phone functions.
That's because Verizon requires a special version of the iPhone. Verizon uses the old CDMA system, instead of the modern GSM system used by just about everyone else in the world (including AT&T). Your iPhone is a standard iPhone, which will work with most of the world's carriers, but not Verizon. The SIM card for Verizon is used only for roaming and non-CDMA functions, but calling and texting require CDMA. You'll have to get a new Verizon iPhone if you really want to stay with Verizon.

Any feedback would be really appreciated.
- I have a verizon iphone 5 sim card. Will it work in an unlocked AT&T iphone 4s? I know that they are different sizes, but i have a converter to overcome that obstacle so that is not the issue. I'm simply asking will the phone actually be able to be activated on the verizon network?
