No, it is not possible to use an 8830WE on any North American GSM carrier. The GSM radio in the 8830 only works on European GSM frequencies, which are different than those used by T-Mobile and AT&T.

If either Sprint or Verizon originally sold it, and the original owner left the account in good standing, that is, not owing the carrier, then the original carrier will likely reactivate it. Neither Sprint nor Verizon will activate a phone originally sold by someone else.
