A:Answer No, they cannot. Verizon is CDMA and each sim card is fixed on a specific phone. You will need a new sim. Actually, I just did that with my Droid Maxx which started life on Verizon.But I ended the contract as soon as I could and went to Straighttalk with their CDMA chip. Then when I upgraded to the Moto G5, I stayed there with a new sim chip from them.
