Using T-Mobile on Verizon Phone

Can someone please tell me there is ANY Verizon compatible phone that would allow me to use a T-Mobile account as well. I have a company phone through Verizon used strictly for calls and a personal phone through T-Mobile for SMS, MMS, and the very rare call. I am desperate to combine these phones. I believe that phones such as the BB Storm and 8830 would allow me to switch from one account to the other if they were unlocked; however I want to be able to have the ability to receive calls through Verizon AND texts through T-Mobile w/o having to switch anything. I know this is a tall order but I'm desperate to get rid of a phone.
Thanks!
 
You can't use two providers at the same time on the same phone. For the most part Verizon phones are CDMA which is not compatible with T-mobiles GSM standard. There are a few "world phones" that you can unlock to work with T-Mobile. I know the Blackberry 8830 and Storm are both capable of this.
 
As above, they are two different networks and frequencies. Verizon has a world edition phone where a sim card can fit. GSM and CDMA can be used alternately. Unfortunately, the frequency for the GSM is not used in the U.S. It is only for outside countries. They run on a different frequency than T-mobile or At&T although its a GSM.
 
I understand that they're different frequencies, even operating on different towers. Do you guys know of any phone that CAN fulfill my needs?
Thanks!
 
At this time Verizon nor T-Mobile have a phone that will meet your requirements. World class cmda phones are also locked to their carrier when working in GSM mode. This means that the cmda carrier would be reselling you the gsm service provider.
