Most likely not, if it doesn't sport the Verizon Wireless branding on it. Unlocked phones purchased are mostly GSM, and VZW operates on CDMA technology, which means that the phone you got couldn't be programmed for the network. And if it could be done, it's possible the programming for it would disable some of the features capable.

No. Sony Ericsson does not make CDMA phones. You could use the K550 with Cingular or T-Mobile.

Gawain is correct. Can I ask where you bought yours and for how much? I'm very interested in the white one icon_biggrin.gif
