Nope. Not that the phone is not capable. Its just that the carriers doesnt Allow the phone to be use on a competing carrier

I think I figured it out. The AT&T iPhone 4S version doesn't come with bloatware. Every Verizon phone (when I was with that carrier) had so much Verizon-branded bloatware (including the screen-printed VZW logo prominently displayed on both the front and back) that it choked the phone's normal operation.

Maybe if you copy over some Verizon-branded bloatware it would work on Verizon.

Just a thought...

A wrong thought. The iPhone from Verizon comes only with stock Apple aps.

My Storm2 from Vzw had tons of bloatware that I couldn't get rid of without installing the app then deleting it. I had to make a folder called s--- and hide it with all the bloatware links in it.

Nowhere on my iPhone does it say Verizon. Doesn't even say it on the startup screen. It has the Apple and that's it.
