Actually you were given correct information on this. An AT&T iPhone 5 does not have CDMA radio and therefore cannot be used on AT&T. It is true a Verizon iPhone 5 can be used on AT&T, but not the other way around.

Why is incorrect information always called a lie? A lie indicates purposeful deceit as opposed to just being wrong. In this case, the Verizon rep was actually telling you the truth!
