How to switch basic Verizon phone to iPhone?

So I dropped my Samsung Brightside the other day and now it is unresponsive. Just a white screen. I really want an iPhone and was planning on getting one with my upgrade in March, but now under these circumstances I'm thinking of getting one now. How much will it cost to switch to an iPhone (I'm paying myself) I already know that data is $30 but how much will the actual phone/contract cost and what Iphone should I get? Also, should I go to the verizon store and buy it or buy it online and then take the phones in to be switched?

Thank you!

Btw- I'm 15 so the most I can spend is like $200 so which iPhones fall in that price range?

My iPhone 3G won't connect to my home Wi-Fi?

Okay, so I was having some trouble with my
iPhone 3G (it wouldn't send or receive
texts/calls) so I rang up apple and they told
me through step by step instructions how to fix it and my phone is perfectly fine now. The thing is, one of the things I had to do was reset my network settings, which turned my phone off and on again and, obviously, reset all my network settings. Now, though, when I try to connect to my home Wi-Fi, it says 'unable to join network' even though I'm typing in the correct password. My mum and dad's iPhones are connecting fine. Also, there's no 'forget this network' option on a 3G. What can I do?

Iphone 5 and iphone 5s case compatibility?

I'm looking for a case for my new iphone, but there are not a lot out there. I hear that they are almost identical, but my issues are with the camera. Does the small, rounded camera hole (rather than the larger square shaped one) leave enough room for both lights? Also, is it true that if I do not use a case with a black rimmed camera hole, it will mess with the camera's sensor?

What are you getting your family members for Christmas?

I'm having trouble deciding what to get family for Christmas. Mostly my parents. My sister will be a little earlier to shop for.
So far I'm getting my dad a Big Bang theory calendar since he loves that show and he already has a few bbt shirts, hats etc. He also like world of Warcraft so I'm going to get him something wow related and for my mom all I have so far is an iPhone 5 case.

What is the best iphone case to get?

I would like something that will withstand falls, nothing to bulky such as those rubber griffin ones, something that looks nice and practical, I like the idea of a flip cover but worried it will inhibit the use of the phone, too much choice on eBay! Would like to narrow it down!

I dropped my iphone in water, and I don't have rice?

The only thing that seems to be off is that I can't hear the clicking of typing when the sound is on and when I use the volume button, it just says ringer and doesn't show how loud my phone is… Everything else seems to be fine

Can I use something besides rice?
