Can I buy a phone from a third party and put my sim card in it?

My son has an Intensity 3 and I want to upgrade him to a smartphone but he's not upgrade eligible for another year. Can I buy a phone like a Galaxy S4 from a third party and put the sim card from the Intensity in it?

You will need a new SIM card since the Intensity doesn't have a SIM card. You can get one for free from your local corporate VZW store.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Yes. You can call Verizon and have them mail you a compatible SIM card or go to one of the stores to pick it up.

You will want to make sure the device you get has a clean ESN before you purchase it and has not been reported lost or stolen.  If you have the device id CS can help you tell if it's clean.  Or you can use the link below to check.
