Hello,

If I were to purchase a Verizon iphone 6 (no contract) and take it to att, will it work like if I had purchased it from att? It looks like the bands are all the same.

Reason I'm asking is there is like a 15:1 verizon to att store ratio where I live.

Also, it looks like I can trade in an old iphone 4 8gb to Verizon and receive a 200 gift card even if I buy the phone outright?

Yes I bought a Verizon 5S off contract and it worked on AT&T.

Although depending on the Verizon store they may not let you buy outright due to their stock levels and them not wanting to lose money on a non contract transaction. I know it's dumb but it happened to me last year.

Yea I understand about them not letting me buy outright. I tend to go back later on, we have 6 lines on att and I'm gonna try to slowly migrate them all back to Verizon.

I'll just say I'm buying it for my gf and she's on Verizon but her contract renewal isn't until March.

Hopefully it will workout. Thanks guys

You can purchase out right without hassle on the vzw website.

The last 2 years, I bought out right online and if delivery wasn't launch day (last year), I'd just call a couple places everyday for one in stock and go buy that one and cancel my order. Last year I found one at best buy mobile.

I had to do the same the year before because my launch day delivery was defective and I had to send it back. Rather than wait for the exchange, I cancelled the order and found one at RadioShack.
