Verizon is supposed to be offering $200 for a working iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5c, 5S. You get this in the form of a Verizon Gift Card that can be applied to your bill.
They have an individual line of 4G service for $60 a month that includes unlimited talk, text, and 2GB of data. If you don't want to pay full price and go with an MVNO, then this is what I would suggest.
If ATT gets good service in your area, you can pay full price and go with Cricket that has unlimited talk, text, and they just upped the data, starting tomorrow. See below. Their plans are $35, $45, $55 a month, with auto pay. You would have to buy your phone outright and would need to sell your 4S yourself, but this will cost less in the long run.
Beginning 13 September and lasting for a limited time, Cricket Wireless will increase the data allotments on its three most popular plans. For existing customers, Cricket will automatically upgrade the data plan during their next bill cycle. Cricket has upgraded its Basic Plan from 500MB to 1GB of data per month, its Smart Plan from 2.5GB to 3GB of data per month and its Pro Plan from 5GB to 10GB of data per month.
Bottom line, if you can afford to buy the phone outright, you will save money going with an MVON (reseller of cellular service), but the Verizon trade-in offer might be easier. If you can go with ATT coverage, you will have more MVNO options out there. There are Verizon MVNOs and Page Plus is supposed to be getting LTE in October, but they may or may not block the iPhone 6, as Verizon may not want the MVNOs to have it just yet, but who knows. If you are going with an MVNO, ATT and Tmobile have a lot more choices.
As deckeda said, the Verizon phone should be unlocked for all US and foreign GSM carriers, but an ATT or TMobile phone will not work on Verizon and will be carrier locked, until you get them to unlock it. HTH
