4g sim card in 3g phone?

I have a 4g lte iphone with verizon. Would i be able to get a 3g phone from verizon or another carrier and put my 4g sim card in it and have it work normally? I doubt this makes a difference, but the 3g phone i was planning on getting would be a basic phone, not a smart phone. I also know that i would have to get a sim card adapter before even trying this.
