Apparently they now carry 4G SIM cards to allow access to their LTE network (see here). The details are a little sketchy, though, and I wouldn't bank on it working.
If you're really interested in doing this, I would suggest going directly to a Verizon store and speaking with someone there. Maybe even see if they'll let you test it out (probably not, but it can't hurt to ask).
The only other Verizon sim cards I found were international ones that allowed roaming on Vodafone's network. Since Verizon in the US uses CDMA for its non-4G network, SIM cards don't work. With a non-4G SIM card you would end up piggybacking on some other carrier's network.
That's my understanding, anyway.

Okay I have a droid incredible 2 it got damaged but it has a sim card its not 4g either so yeah

That's one of the international sim cards, which basically just lets it hop on GSM networks internationally when it doesn't have Verizon's US CDMA network.

So you mean its not possible
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I can't say for certain. You would need to talk to someone at Verizon and ask them if their international GSM sim cards work here in the states.
My guess is that they'll tell you it will work, but since you would be essentially roaming all the time you're using it, it would be either costly or they wouldn't do it. Again, I'm not a Verizon employee, so I can't say that's 100% accurate, but that's my gut reaction.

Yeah ok makes sence my incredible 2 can only go into safe mode thats why I ask this

Have you tried putting the sim card on your captivate to see what happens?

Yes but verizon is so protective you have to have them activate it through the phones imei

Unfortunately verizon does not like you to be able to use at&t on there global phones so afaik there's no way to make it work.

This phone cannot be "unlocked" because it runs on the CDMA network. The SIM card is only for the 4G network and saving text messages and will not work with other carriers.

There is no such thing "Can't be unlocked" does not make sense even for the makers? just got a glanced at this too, but will follow up on it when it's his turn..and there will be no such thing as "Can't be unlocked"

[Q] Can I use D4 on gsm network?

I use unlocked D3 but this device is 512MB ram also there is no official ICS(no flash reader, no camcorder). If I can use D4 on gsm network, I'll upgrade!
from my DROID3 using xda app-developers app

Yes you can, but currently only with the leaked ICS firmwares. The stock gingerbread firmware does not allow it. Supposedly the official ICS firmware is due in Q3 2012
I made a thread here with instructions on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766479

Will this work if the droid 4 has a bad ESN?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Should be, the esn is usually used to activate cdma, for gsm you only have to activate a sim card and put it in...

Just take one w/o contract - and that should be enough. No unlock codes was required for me.

Almost the answer I was looking for.
So could someone confirm this:
Bad esn doesn't affect calling via a SIMcard?
I know it's a very old thread, but worth trying..

ESN's and IMEI numbers are used for GSM phones(AT&T, T-Mobile and now Verizon also). MEID numbers are used with CDMA phones(Verizon,Sprint) and just because the phone has ics or jb doesn't mean it's unlocked. You still have to install a different sim card and put in an unlock code which you can get from Verizon if you are with them or pay for it online somewhere. Once the new sim card is installed into phone and the unlock code is entered, the phone will state that your device has been unlocked. Unlocking phones is mainly for overseas use outside of the US. I have much experience with this as I served in the U.S. military for 10 years and I took my old phone over with me. Upon arrival in the new country, you set up cell service with a GSM provider, install their sim card and viola! Hope I could clear this up for you guys! Not trying to sound mean, just informative.
EDIT: Bad ESN's or MEID's can be a bad thing but some can be changed or flashed over with new one's from third party service providers like PagePlus Cellular, etc.

Ofcourse it will work, if its unlocked that is.
since T-Mobile is refarming to 1900, some major cities get 3G
in Boston area i only get 2G/EDGE

I had to make sure, I was looking at T mobile frequencies and O4X frequencies they match up but I had to get another person feedback. Thanks tho!
Also, your only getting 2G/EDGE in Boston? I figure you would atleast get 3G in a city like that.

My knowing was that international phones won't work with TMobile USA other than edge but on att just fine.

I used it with AT&T in UMTS in the west coast states. The quality and availability of UMTS by AT&T is okay.
T Mobile isn't working in UMTS because of the frequency band which doesn't work with this phone, but GSM will work.

I am using it on Att prepaid. Works great.

I'd suggest searching the best apn settings for your carrier if you haven't already.

Hmm try going to settings, mobile data, network mode and see if GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto is selected. What carrier are you through?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you could post your wireless provider information, especially what bands they're on, that still help people dig up the appropriate information.
For the purposes of this thread, I assume when you say 4G you mean LTE, and not HSDPA+

You're welcome. Another question. Is this your first LTE device? There could be the possibility your carrier doesn't get LTE coverage where you're at.

I would hope not either. I love mine, but you could try rooting it and putting a custom Rom on it. There's s chance it could he an issue with your kernel too. And if that doesn't work you can unroot and just send it back.

IIRC Omantel is in the middle east. I'm not sure where you got the phone, but I believe you actually want a stock phone who's MID is PN0710000. This seems to be the appropriate model for Europe/Middle East which has LTE (4G) support for 800/1800/2600.
The PN0712000 supports LTE on 700/AWS. This the the current model I have over here in Canada.
Hope this helps.
