Yes you can use the unlocked phone on Verizon still however the advantage of an unlocked phone means that you can use on a different carrier like Sprint or at&t , TMobile

Answer

I have an unlocked S7 that I use with Verizon. Works excellently and does not have the vzw bloatware. From what I see, the unlocked s9 has all the necessary hardware to work with Verizon's network. Best buy's specs on the phone seem to indicate the same: "Carrier Compatibility
AT&T, Consumer Cellular, Cricket, H2O Wireless, Net10, Simple Mobile, Sprint, T-Mobile, TRACFONE, Total Wireless, US Cellular, Verizon"
