If you purchased the phone new from Verizon and are within 12 months of your manufactures warranty Verizon or Apple will replace the phone if you qualify; no damage to the phone and whatever issues you're experiencing are internal and not caused by you.

If you caused the damage and have insurance through Verizon you can file a claim online:

Cell Phone File Insurance Claim Total Mobile Protection | Verizon Wireless

If you qualify for either of these, your phone will be replaced with a refurbished phone.

If you're still paying the insurance fee, use the link above to file an insurance claim. You'll need to pay your deductible which is around $99+ and Verizon will send you a refurbished phone and then you send back your phone to Verizon.

In the 3 years that you've had the phone have you performed a factory reset? That might cure your problems and then you can save the deductible fee. You are also more than likely eligible for an upgrade and depending on the plan you have, doing an Edge contract can make the new phone free over the course of the next 2 years.

Oh BTW, if I pay the $99 for replacement, will they send me a IPhone 4 or replace it with a 5?  At this point $99 for a 3G phone is probably a waste...

They will send you whatever device you currently have. The only time they send you the next model up is if they are out of the current model which probably doesn't have as often as it use to.

They will send you a 4.

I agree with your assessment. You can buy a mint condition iPhone 4 on swappa for $90, so you are paying higher than market value for the replacement on insurance. Yet another reason I never buy the insurance, and just self insure. Put the money aside that you would have paid in insurance and you will be better off.
