Though I don't think a 3 year old ATT galaxy will work on Verizon.

The radios aren't compatible.

Because Verizon's network is very different from ATT. Verizon is mainly a CDMA network while ATT is GSM. If the galaxy does not have CDMA radios (which it probably does not), it won't work on their CDMA network. Best case is it might work on Verizon's LTE network but even that would be iffy.
