Will the 521 work on Verizon?

I need to send my 928 in for repair. The 521 is on sale at Best Buy today for $69.99. Thinking about picking it up for a backup/spare. But will it work on Verizon?

No, it's a GSM phone

The bands will not support Verizon's network. Sorry.

Darn bands!!

I'm guessing the answer is "no", but how about the 520?

That also doesn't support Verizon's bands. :/

Lumia 520 and 521 don't have the CDMA bands for Verizon and Sprint

I am also pretty sure Verizon won't allow a non-Verizon phone on their network.
