“I have a Verizon plan already. My current/soon-to-be-old iPhone 5 with the Verizon plan just croaked. I just want to transfer my SIM card, plan, data etc to a new phone and keep things constant with sound hardware. Will this work with this phone?”

Yes, it would work on this phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, but you will have to activate a pre-paid account with new number for one month. Get the $30 prepaid card. You just need to have Verizon activate the prepaid account. You don't need to keep it, just activate it. It's Verizon's Tribute. After they activate your new prepaid account, you can pop in your regular accounts SIM and use it without issues. Make sure you backup your old phone on Itunes/Icloud prior to setting up, if you haven't done so in a while. This way, when you sign into this device, you have all of your current info from the old to the new phone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure that just a sim swap will work for everything. I was told you have to use it as prepaid for a month before switching to postpaid. If the 5 is dead not sure about the the contacts/apps will come back unless they come back from icloud.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I transferred from a LG phone to the iPhone 6s with out any problems. Kept my old service and number. Just take it to a Verizon dealer after you get it and they should be able to transfer all your stuff from the old phone to the new one even if it won't turn on. They did that for me a few years ago and it worked.
