Can You Use A Virgin Mobile Phone On The Verizon Network?

I might need a new Verizon phone but I don't want one until 2011 because of the possibility of either iPhone or 4G service coming out (or both).

Since Virgin Mobile is CDMA like Verizon, and they have phones for as low as $10, if I buy one of those, can I get it "activated" for use on Verizon?

If the answer is no, is there any electronic "magic" someone could do for me a la "unlocking," "jailbreaking," etc. that would make this possible?
