Default Is it possible to take my verizon cell number and switch it to a non-verizon phone?

I have the razr V3m from verizon and my screen broke. When i turn it on its just white. i can make calls and get txt and everything! I just cant see the screen on the outside and inside. My friend has the rumor from sprint and its just chillen in her room, cus she got a new phone. so, i was wondering if it is possible for me to take her phone and transfer my number and plan to it. If ne one knows the answer or is in the same predicament, leave your answer! please
xoxo shannn

Yes, its porting your number. Just as long as you terminate your account the correct way, and then tell verizon and your new carrier your taking your number.

her phone is not compatible with verizon... maybe you could hack it or something like that kid did with the iphone... but i don't think you can even do that with verizon. sorry.

I believe that there's a federal law allowing you to keep phone numbers if switching carriers.
