Yes, it is possible. I suggest you flash back to the stock rom if you are running a custom rom and then go to a Verizon Store and ask if they will do it. Then if you can get them to activate it, you can flash a custom rom and unlock gps and stuff that Verizon locks down. The key is you may have to go to a couple different stores before you can find one that will activate it on their network. Good Luck!!

Actually, after you update the radio and set the aGPS settings with QPST, you should be able to activate it online. Check out your account settings in "My Verizon".

You should be able to call in, have then make a note about the phone on your account, and then take it in to the store and they should be able to flash it for you!

I've heard it's difficult to get carriers to accept esn numbers from phones that originated on another network. I could be wrong... but I still have one question for you: Why would you want to switch from Sprint to Verizon?

Verizon has an open network, as long as you remind them, you should have no problem. Maybe he needs a reliable network?
