I recently broke my iPhone 4 by dropping it in the toilet, my stepdad called verizon and they said they would send me a phone for $100. is there anyway that I can buy a used iPhone 5s online and it work with Verizon? I have the money for a phone, but I would like a newer phone if I am going to be buying a new one.

The unlocked version Apple is selling online is the GSM model. GSM is the cellular band used by ATT and T Mobile...therefore that phone will not work on Verizon or Sprint. (They use the CDMA cellular band)
You may want to try going into a Verizon store, and telling them you want to pay the full non-contract price for the Verizon phone...see what they say...doesn't hurt to ask.

The unlocked iPhone 5S will only work on GSM networks. If you want a Verizon iPhone but do not want a contract with it and are willing to pay full price, you can purchase a Verizon iPhone off contract. It will be around $700 for a 16 GB device or $800 for a 32 GB. So, you can buy any of the iPhones that Apple offers for your specific carrier at full price with no contract.
