T-Mobile BB 8700 to Verizon?

Can I take my old Blacberry 8700 unlock it and use it on the Verizon network? Want to give it to my daughter who is on Verizon.

No. The T-Mobile is GSM and Verizon is CDMA so the networks are not compatible.

Unfortunately you're limited to AT&T, T-mobile or any other GSM carrier. As stated above, Verizon is incompatible. You might try swapping out with someone who has an 8700c and wants to go to GSM.
