I am about to buy an apple iphone and i have an env from verizon i want to transfer my number so i thought that when i cancel my contract on verizon i should be able to use the same number when i set up my iphone

it is called porting. call you cell provider and tell them what you plan to do it is about $15 in charges for this transaction. takes 48 hours.

probably. you should talk to your new service provider and they can usually make the necessary arrangements with verizon
