I assumed the only way to do this (if you're an existing customer and want to upgrade to a new device) was to buy the device from the carrier. At their crappy prices, I've resisted the temptation to date.

For GSM carriers, all you need to do for an unlocked phone is insert your sim card and set the right email portals, which they provide instructions for. If the unit is locked, then you have to use the same carrier or find someone who knows how to unlock the unit.
For Verizon, things don't work the same way, from what I've read. Verizon is on a different format than GSM, CDMA, which is an older platform. I don't think you can just swap out a sim card for a CDMA phone. To be honest, I don't know if a CDMA phone has a sim card.
