Donald, Unfortunately it's not possible to use a Verizon phone on the AT&T network. The two carriers use different radio technologies. Of the big four carriers Verizon and Sprint use CDMA technology for cellular service while AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. It's not even possible to switch the phones between the two CDMA carriers.
