I currently have Verizon Wireless as my cell phone provider. I'm not due for a phone upgrade for another year, but my current phone is busted. I wanted to get an unlocked cell phone (they seem less expensive) and wondered if any of them will work with Verizon.

Sure! You can often buy them off of Ebay for a good price, just make sure it is a Verizon phone. Some phones are specific for some carriers, and most have some carrier's logo on them, if a phone has a cingulair logo on it then verizon won't turn it on, they're pretty easy to find though. Good luck!

Yes it will work but you have to take the phone in to your service provider and have them give you a code to put in the phone to make it pick up the verizon sims card. If it was already a verizon phone...just put your sims card in the back of the phone and it should pick right up.

If the previous account was also Verizon wireless no problem. Otherwise they have to recode it . If that is possible with your particular brand.
