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?


I believe that's correct although Verizon obviously has the final say.
Tell them you won't make the switch unless you can keep the number and
see what happens.


Here's what the FCC sez:

The important sentence:

"Once you request service from the new company, however, your old
company may not refuse to port your number, even if you owe money for an
outstanding balance or termination fee."


No money owed. The contract is up.
