I think you will need to cancel the acct with them after att has made the switch.
Every time I've switched carriers this has been automatic as long as I was porting the number.

good to know Jessica.
I have never changed carriers, so I don't about this.

Thank you! I am not very good on the phone so I like to know what I am getting into going in.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Has anyone used HTC Incredible? I put in for an upgrade on my phone but I have been waiting for the damn phone for WEEKS because they are out of stock. I wanted to stick with Verizon, as they offered me a good deal (rebates and discounts for being a loyal customer, etc., so the phone actually costs only $100), plus I get 20% discount for both voice and dataplan through work, but the waiting is getting ridiculous. I know Incredible got awesome reviews from Wired and CNET and everywhere, but I am thisclose to chucking it all and just getting an iPhone (except then I'd want an iPhone4 with bigger capacity and that's $200 more than what I'd have paid for the Incredible. BAH.)

Yeah, Sophia--you just go in after your contract is up (might want to call and double check on that) and buy the phone and they should ask if you want to port the number. It used to take a couple days and now it only takes a couple hours. And they'll cancel your other service.

When I switched from Verizon to AT&T, my new phone was working about 10 minutes after I left the store. It was wicked fast.

Our wings are not tired.
Sophia, in the meantime, you can use any T-mobile phone (used is fine, get one on Craigslist) to ride out the rest of your contract. You can probably find a cheapo for $10 and just go into T-mobile and tell them you need a replacement SIM.

Thank you all! I am hampered by trying to do everything on-line (the last time I lost my phone, the store would neither give me a SIM card or SELL me a phone, they told me I needed to do it online, since I started online)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
