Changing phones on a prepaid Verizon plan

[mcguigcl]

I would like to purchase a new iPhone on the Verizon website and keep my phone Verizon prepaid phone number that I have now, but the options on the website do not allow that.  I have the option of changing to a new number only.  When I try to change my phone number now to the new phone I am purchasing, it comes up with a message saying that is an active number and.  How do I do this?  I've tried calling every number available for Verizon and only get a recording.  There is no option to speak to a human and when I press zero, the recording states, "we're sorry you are having trouble, goodbye."  What kind of customer service is that?  Please help.
