My family has verizon and I would really like the motofone

I dont mind paying for an unlocked phone, as long as the price is under $100

Is there any way to do this duders, or am I out of luck?

    No. The Motofone F3 is a GSM phone. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. That, plus the fact that Verizon typically only allows Verizon-branded phones on their network leads me to say no.

    In the US, TMobile and AT&T are the two GSM carriers.

    I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?

    Correct. There are rumors that Verizon is one day going to let people use unlocked phones on their network, but I don't see them doing it because it's a little TOO convenient for Verizon. You're gonna have to use a VZW phone if you want to be on their network. I just got a new LG Venus and I really like it, so I recommend that.
