Yeah suspected I was being lied to and probably should have fought harder and should have done a lot more preemptively. I really shouldn't have made purchasing choices based on the "Can I transfer" website thing, that's my bad. I even had my new carrier conference call Verizon with me to try to have the number transfered. According to the agents they had "never seen this problem", I wish I had the call records or that this was done in writing/email, sigh another mistake. Lol
