AT&T uses a system which should allow you to just pop your SIM card into any compatible phone and have it work (as long as the phone is either programmed for AT&T or it's "unlocked" to work with any carrier).

As for porting the number over, yes you can do that. You'll need to call AT&T customer service and have them help you with that. They should be able to replace one of the existing contract lines with that number.

My last job was training T-Mobile sales reps, so I know a fair bit about this )

Let me know if I can help further!
The porting issue Scott has is taking a Vonage number to his AT&T number...can that be done?
