Yeah you should be able to go to the Verizon (NYSE: VZ) store and get a good deal on a phone when you sign a contract with them.

If you buy an Ebay phone, they should be able to take the serial number on your phone and program it in their system.

yes u can buy on ebay but it has to be compatiable with Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and u go through a credit check with them to see if u can get service....u could pay nothing or pay up to $1000 deposit depending on ur credit. but if u can get service with them u can ususally get a better deal on a new phone at the store. they will put the activation fee on the first bill which is $35

Instead of buying a phone of ebay...why don't you just sign up for a contract w/verizon and in turn most cell phone stores give you a pretty nice phone for free when you sign up for the contract.

But in regards to your original question, I can't see why not...I'm not sure if Verizon (NYSE: VZ) phones have sim cards(if it does just pop in your old one and your ready to go) or if they dont i think you should be able to just call verizon give the model # of the phone and they should be able to activiate it with the service plan.
