For lots of reasons, my wife is getting tired of Cellular 1 and is
going to switch over to Verizon. OK so Verizon Wireless told her that
with the new cell phones comes new phone numbers, and i thought that
was strange that you can't keep your existing number, but then again,
I don't know much about it. But a couple friends of mine said that
there was a law passed not long ago that would allow you to keep your
existing phone number regardless of who your new carrier was.

Any fact to this? and/or how do I find out?

Thanks!

Tell verizon you want to port your current telephone over to them. AFAIK
all telephone companies already put a monthly charge on your phones,
supposedly to pay for the cost of number portability.
