porting local number after obtaining a new number?
I'm about to purchase a phone/service at wirefly.com. The customer service person told me that the new phone will come with a new number, while I could call verizon wireless to port my old number after a few days. Is this really doable with Verizon wireless?
BTW, will changing my phone number cause the dealer(wirefly) to think that I am cancelling my service? I'm a little worried about the impact on getting rebates. Thanks.

No no no! Do NOT buy a phone from wirefly!
I've talked to several of my friends and a few of my now current customers about their experiences with wirefly.
They tend to screw up rate plans, and tack on features that you didn't ask for (so they can get paid more).
Also yes you can get a regular phone number in the beginning and have your other carrier phone number PORTED-IN to VZW later. Again since wirefly is an internet company I would not trust them with something like this. Go to a VZW direct store or a reputable wireless dealer (yes there are ones out there).
Heck you can even order right off VZW.com cause at least that way VZW has your warranty information and can take care of your phone repair/exchange if you ever need it R...
