No.

They actually understated the issue. While it's true that AT&T locks their
phones, the real problem is that AT&T and Verizon use different digital
technologies. The hardware in your phone is not compatible with Verizon.

Hello;

I've got a motorola v60i from at&t and cancelled my plan.
would like to use with phone with my verizon family plan, verizon tells me
they cannot program the phone since at&t puts their own code/software on
their phones.

is there a way I can get around this

AT&T uses TDMA and GSM; Verizon uses CDMA. I'm unsure if your phone can be
reflashed to become a CDMA phone -- it may require different hardware. Unless
all you want is an analog phone ;-)

It is a hardware difference that can not be overcome.

T-mobile, AT&T, Cingular and most of the carriers worldwide use a technology
called GSM.

Verizon & Sprint use CDMA.

You'll have to buy a GSM phone.
