If someone were to jailbreak their iPhone would it work on Verizon's network?

Just wondering.

Not unless they know somebody at apple can who solder CDMA Qualcom chips in it, reconfigure the internal "radios" to support 1900mhz PCS, issue the phone a ESN and get the ESN into Verizons Database.


So no

I have to disagree. I'm a Verizon agent and just got the iPhone earlier this month. I have to say the phone is awesome and I'll be using it and the sucky AT&T network until Verizon gets the iPhone. I've used Blackberry's and loved them until I got the iPhone. Unless you've owned one, you can't say it sucks.

How about the scenario someone posted where an Iphone was connected to a MiFi2200? That's one way to use Verizon's network.

That would work for data. For voice it wouldn't work.

Jailbreaking it will not make it work with Verizon, unless you mod it to have a Qualcomm CDMA chip and somehow mod the software to interact with it.. so the answer is no

it still needs to call your physical line (to my understanding) if it was a true VOIP it might work. How much data would that be though?
