I wonder if the other way can work. I know in the past Apple didn't enable the CDMA bands on the AT&T iPhones, but if you look in settings, the AT&T iPhone reports its MEID. The iPhone 5S, 5, and 4S didn't do that
This thread saying what seems to be Verizon working on the GSM models:

Cool. Guess the only difference this time is that the VZW models will be listed in Verizon's database. I wonder if you can get them to add the phone to their database somehow (maybe tell them it's a warranty replacement?)
Verizon just doesn't let phones they don't have in their database on their network. They are supposedly supposed to but no one has really been able to do it. If it's not their phone they won't let it on their network.
Works fine according to the thread above. It's just detected as a "non-VZW device" which happens to iPhones replaced under warranty too.
Without more information and confirmations I would take it with a grain of salt. Perhaps something slipped through somewhere but it almost never happens with Verizon. So for now I would still question that.
The device is exactly the same. The ATT model simply has a disabled CDMA antenna. The spec sheet otherwise is identical.[/QUOTE]
CDMA radios don't appear to be disabled this time; the phone wouldn't report an MEID if they were disabled.
I think it's probably like the iPad air. Verizon won't activate a new SIM with a non-VZW device, but an already activated SIM will work fine.
Yes, but it won't be detected as an iphone 6

You should also be careful if you've currently got an unlimited plan: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1463597/
There probably will never be an official confirmation.

Probably not unless it's official. Meaning it's a risk and better to expect it not to work that way (even one might hope that it does/might).
if this question has been asked an answered already I'm sorry. I know verizon iPhones are unlocked right from verizon BUT if i buy a verizon iPhone 6 from an apple store directly will the device come unlocked? i was wondering if buying it from verizon or apple made any difference in the device coming unlocked.
Just got a Verizon 6 at the Apple Store today (full price, off contract). I put in my AT&T SIM and I get voice service only, can't connect to any data services (LTE, visual voicemail, etc.)
Tried to go through AT&T and they weren't able to get it going either saying I may need to change UPN settings, which of course you can't do through the phone with an AT&T SIM loaded.
As others have stated that they had no issues with AT&T service on VZW phones, are there any suggestions?
I have a gophone plan if that makes a difference.

I'm not able to get LTE working using my AT&T SIM in a Verizon iPhone 6, did you have to do anything besides swapping sims to get up and running?
Just wondering... I purchased the Verizon Iphone 6+ full price. Do i need to activate the iPhone before it is consider unlocked? Can I just install my tmobile sim and have it activate?
Nope , take Verizon sim out and put your T Mobile sim to the tray and turn on.
Dễ ẹt , tháo sim Verizon ra rồi để sim T Mobile vô thôi , ko cần active vì mình paid off device
