Switch to pre-paid when plan expires

[bribrem]

My 2 year plan expires at the end of this billing cycle.  After a great deal of research I have decided I would like to switch to a prepaid plan while keeping my old phone and old number.  My question is in regards to the feasibility of this.  I spent a good amount of time roaming around the site and have come up quite disappointed as there seems to be no easy in-browser applications to handle this.  While browsing plans on multiple other carriers I found many offered to set up a launch date so that my number and service would transfer to them the day following my current plan's expiration.  Yet desiring to remain with Verizon I can't do the same thing. Shouldn't it be even easier for it to be done when I'm keeping the carrier?!

Does anyone know of a way to switch to a prepaid service upon my current plans expiration without having to go through a few days downtime nor spend countless tedious hours on the phone or in store with customer service reps; no offence but I have had terrible experience with customer service via phone and in store?
