Can I use a CDMA chip on a GSM iPhone

Question

While I live in Mexico I use a United States phone. I had an iPhone 5s with Verizon, as you know it's CDMA. My phone broke and it's cheaper to just buy a brand new one than to try to fix it. I am wondering if I buy an unlocked GSM iPhone 6 will I be able to use it with my CDMA nano chip from Verizon. I find this easier since I won't be going back to the US to buy a new one in a while. Also I don't rally want to get a new phone number with a carrier here in Mexico
Thanks!

No you can't.  You cannot use a GSM phone on a CDMA network, so if you go ahead and buy an unlocked GSM phone, then you WILL NOT be able to use it on the Verizon network.
If the phone is unlocked, then you can use it with any local sim card, but you can't use it on a CDMA network.
You'll have to wait until you get back to the US and buy a new Verizon phone.
Until then, you'll have to buy a new GSM phone unlocked and get a new number because you can't use it on Verizon.
