To the best of my knowledge it will depend on how pliable your Verizon or Sprint service rep is. The phone itself will have to be told to look for the Verizon towers instead of the Sprint ones and someone at Verizon will need to add your phone's ESN to their database in order to provision it for service. It's definitely possible - I know MetroPCS does it all the time with phones you bring to them for their service - but there's a lot of "ifs" involved.
