Can I buy an LG Cosmos 3 to use as a replacement device?

[GORBOY87]

The phone was dropped possibly in water and is no longer working.  I want to know if a new or used LG Cosmos3 purchased on E-Bay can be used to replace the old phone on a current Verizon account.

Yes, as long as it is a Verizon branded device.
