You cannot unlock the Iphone to work on Verizon for the reason suggested in your OP. I believe you can unlock it to work on T Mobile though and that is is.Quote:

yea thats what i thought that when they jailbreak the phone they get some kind of app that they can put any name in the top left corner and they put verizon to try to trick pplQuote:

Chew on this one for a minute.
Mobiledia posted this a couple of weeks ago..
Verizon Wireless addressed the notion of the iPhone ever coming to its network, saying Apple is willing to work with the carrier under its fourth-generation, or 4G, network, which follows the same technology standard as AT&T's 4G plans..
Verizon's Chief Executive Ivan Seidenberg admitted Apple never seriously considered making a CDMA version of its popular iPhone because it didn't have as wide a distribution opportunity.
Apple, the maker of the popular smartphone, is conducting high-level discussions with the carrier to sell a version of the iPhone that would work on Verizon's network.
The Basking Ridge, N.J.-based carrier plans to test its soon-to-be-built 4G network this year and will roll it out commercially in at least 25 to 30 markets in 2010.

Hmmm, that's interesting...even though I wouldn't get....I love my bbs too much :DQuote:

I am not interested in the iphone. Why would I want a phone that has less features on it than the one I have? I cant even send an MMS message to my friends that have them.
