you cancel you service with Verizon and start service with another company. Better hope that phone is compatible with this other company.

Even tho some of the phones are unlocked, it's mainly for overseas use. The vzw phones aren't used on other carriers.

You simply go to the other carrier, buy a phone and have them port your number over.  You are then no longer a Verizon customer.  (Stay mindful of ETF and phone compatibility)

Any carrier you switch to will not fully support it to include GSM carriers.  Sprint (and it's MNVOs) MIGHT cover 1 band and 1 frequency.  Don't count on much signal with voice or 4G.  Basically, you want to sell that Verizon phone, and buy either a phone from that carrier or find one that is branded by that carrier on a 3rd party site.

You'd have to change APN settings and get that carrier's SIM plus do some other configurations, and still, you won't get full functionality.

Found it?    If it has been lost, it will be reported and blacklisted.  It will be unusable.
