I am currently stationed in Korea and bought and iphone4 over here. Will I be able to use it with Verizon once I get back to the states?

Only if you bought it through Verizon (or Apple) and it is a Verizon CDMA iPhone 4. Otherwise, no you will not be able to use it on the Verizon Wireless network

It depends, but most likely no, and if it does, it will take a lot of work to get it to work with Verizon

 

I am not sure which cellular networks are supported in Korea, but if Korea does not support CDMA, then chances are you have a GSM iPhone which will not work on Verizon, you will have to use AT&T, T-Mobile, or other GSM capable carrier

 

If it is a CDMA iPhone, the phone will first need to be flashed to work on Verizon's network, and the MEID of the phone needs to be programmed into Verizon's systems, and in the end, there is no guarantee that it will work the same way as if you were to get a new iPhone from Verizon (and may also have glitches or missing features)
