Could one of you gurus put this in simple terms for me.
Will I now be able to give my Samsung Phone model SGH-X427 to my son for use
on a Verizon network?
TIA!

Not if it's a Cingular phone. No legalities involved, this is purely
technical. You cannot use a GSM phone on a CDMA network, the
technologies are incompatible.
If your son was on T-Mobile, then the answer would probably be "yes".
But you'd have to get it unlocked, first.
