I have a Verizon iPhone 5 that i am selling while i can still get a decent dollar for it before this upcoming Apple event. I was curious on what steps to take after/before selling my phone. Since there will obviously be a few week gap between getting rid of this phone and receiving the next what is the best way to go about this process?

Do i sell my SIM card with it?
Do i pick up a cheap phone to use while the new iPhone comes out?
Do i have to call Verizon prior to selling my phone so that the ESN is cleared for them?
How do i keep my number while waiting to put it on the new iPhone?

Any other steps? I want the process to be smooth when i pick up an off-contract iPhone when it is available.

I searched around and couldn't find any help.

Thanks much, guys!.... and ladies!
