I am under Verizon right now and I currently have a Blackberry but I want an iPhone 4. Can I just buy a used Verizon iPhone 4 from a friend and use that?

I used AT&T before and since they had SIM cards, switching phone was no problem, but since Verizon doesn't have SIM cards, I don't know how it works.

Thanks!

Yes you can...I do it all the time! All you have to do is switch devices by putting the ESN or DEC of the phone for your number line.

Oh so I can just take it to any Verizon Store and they'll switch it for me?

Yeah you could do it a few different ways...you could go to store...you could call them...or you can do it yourself online under you account info and choose change device.
