If I bought a prepaid Verizon smartphone at Walmart, could I use it to replace a phone on my account that has run out of insurance claims?

My husband needs a new phone since I recently shattered his screen, however we are out of insurance claims on the phone so we cant replace it through that method. If I get an upgrade, I would have to change plans as my current plan is no longer offered. This is something I don't want to do. So if I outright buy a prepaid smart phone at Walmart, could I activate it with his number on our current account?

If you put it on prepaid for 6 months first, yes
