Replying to Tips on how to con Verizon/Apple into giving you a new iPhone

DirkaDirka:
So, "con" sounds a little criminalistic, but my iPhone stopped working a couple of days ago. It keeps saying that it's searching for service and it only turns on when it's plugged in, and even then it turns off and turns on sporadically. It's pretty fucked, trust me.

Here's the thing though. I have had a cracked screen on my iPhone for the past 4 months or so but it wasn't affecting the phone at all or my use of it. I just simply did not want to pay for a replacement screen because it was not a big deal to me. My questions are:

Will Verizon not replace my iPhone because of the visible physical damage to it? Is there any way that I can prove my usage of it over the past few months so that they know that it was working okay? It would be awesome if I could just get a completely new iPhone out of this. Anyone have any advice/experience with this in particular or just shmoozing in general in order to get a new phone? Thanks guys!!
