never said they are using gsm state side but at the same time they have bought some gsm towers and gsm based companies i dont see why this wouldnt be possible. or even work on sprint because sprint at one time was gsm based too!!

Ok explain this. If you do not think they are using GSM stateside.... how exactly do you expect to use a GSM phone on their network? If it isn't a dual radio phone, then the technologies are incompatible.

what would be the point of buying gsm companies if u didnt have plans of using them!! i understand they are preparing for lte but im sure they are using gsm in a few small markets!! just like i belive sprint still has gsm running in a few markets!!

I think it is fair to say at this time it cannot be done. We don't know what carrier's future plans are, but for now in the USA, Verizon / Sprint = CDMA phones only.

But we do. LTE and GSM for their 4G network. They have already stood up a test network and are completing calls / data transfer.
