Can i just buy a phone to use with a different carrier?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support3 months

Verizon devices are locked for 60 days after purchase, meaning they only work with a Verizon SIM and on Verizon's network. After 60 days, Verizon will automatically unlock the device, allowing you to use it with other carriers. -Cynthia

Do refurbished phones come with a new battery?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support9 months

No, Verizon refurbished phones, also called "Certified Pre-Owned" phones, do not necessarily come with a new battery; instead, they are tested to ensure the existing battery fully charges and the charge indicator functions properly. ~Ivone
