Who I have the same questioned this topic

I am a frequent visitor to the USA and I have a phone issued by Verizon.  I know my number has expired and been re-alloacated but I know Verizon can find my details from numbers printed under the battery on the phone.  I need to be bale to use my phone on arrvial in Orlando on the 19th of April.  Can anyone tell me how I can get a new number and have the phone ready to use on a pay as you go basis prior to my arrival please ?
