If I buy the S9+ does it have to be tied to a plan? null

Simple answer NO, it does not have to be tied to a plan if you purchase the unlocked phone. Otherwise read the fine print.
You can purchase an "unlocked" phone for less upfront money, however, if your wireless carrier is Verizon you will NOT get the HD calling, Video Chat, Messenger+ features, contacts lists, just to name a few. They cannot they be added to an "Unlocked" phone. My experience with Verizon Tech support was not the best since I did not purchase it from them and they are under no obligation other to refer you to where you purchased the phone for any phone related issues.
If those Verizon branded features are not important then the unlocked phone may be the cheaper opinion (as of July 2019). 
BestBuy does have the branded Verizon phones and other carriers that are occasionally at a reduced price. 
Hope this helps...

Yes, that is how we purchased ours. Tell the techs you would like one that isn't tied to a particular wireless provider. Sometimes these cost more. When you purchase a phone through a wireless provider they offer discounts on their devices, but once you do this you generally have to stay with the company.
