My cell finally died today. For months I've had to wiggle the plug just right to get it to charge....so I sprayed some electric contact cleaner in it. Bad move, it ate the plastic. The battery cover is in pieces and the phone is ready to split into two pieces.

I have verizon prepay plan. Do I have to buy a new phone directly from verizon? If I get one from ebay how do I know it will work for me? The old phone was about 4 years old. I don't think it has a sim card.

I don't understand the whole locked/unlocked phone thing.
