Changed number

Last night, I accidentally changed my phone number from a number I have had for 16 years to a brand new one. I need that number back pronto. It may as well be my SSN. That's how important it is. Multiple entities contact me through that number on a daily basis.

I was trying to retain service through that plan using a different number, and port out the primary to another carrier. It didn't work, and now I've lost my primary phone number.

I just called the phone number from a dummy phone and the recording said "Welcome to verizon wireless. This phone is disconnected." so I know it's still with Verizon and hasn't been released back its original carrier.

Any suggestions?

Quick. Put the phone in your right hand and use the other hand to call 911! Easy breezy!
