Can I manually make T-Mobile iPhone 5 work on Verizon?
I have an iPhone 4S currently, and just recently got a secondhand iPhone 5 off of one of my friends for free. However, the iP5 is a model from T-Mobile, while I'm on Verizon. Is there are way I would be able to somehow manually unlock it to make it work with Verizon? Could I just replace the antenna with a CDMA antenna (if it's even a thing that would work) to make it work? Would I be able to just go into a T-Mobile store to unlock and then a Verizon store to use the phone, if the above wouldn't work?
Also, would there be a way to manually activate it without going to a Verizon store? I know *228 works if switching between 3G/2G phones, but is there a way to switch between 4G devices?
All answers appreciated! Thank you!

Nope, the GSM (T-Mobile and AT&T) models do not have the radios to work on CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular) networks.
The radio is part of the motherboard, in order to replace it, you would need an entire motherboard, which is basically a new phone.
I'm not sure about activation, but all you need to activate a T-Mobile iPhone is a wifi connection.

No.
Unless you have the verizon antennas and have the knowledge of taking them off and putting new ones in the answer is NO.
