Using a non sprint phone

Can I activate a Non sprint phone onto my account....Like some other CDMA phone that was never offered by sprint. I know that your can do that on GSM phone because I had T-Mobile and I would just buy any phone that was never offered by tmobile and just pop my sim card into it and it worked just fine....but the problem with Sprint (and aslo Verizon) there are no sim cards to be found in there phones...So how would I be able to do this? THANK U

to clarify,

you wont be able to activate it because some one has to type the esn into the billing system, and the sprint billing system will not recognize anything besides a sprint phone as a valid esn. also, there is required programming that is specific to sprint phones that will not be in a verizon phone.
