Wait until your contract is completed.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Porting your number to a new carrier will automatically CANCEL your account with Verizon, triggering the ETF unless your contract is completed. You cannot suspend a line and also port that line's number - the line will cancel.
If you were attempting to suspend the line to "ride out the contract", you'd be suspending with billing, and paying the line charges anyway - the ETF may be less costly. Suspending without billing will result in extending the contract for the term of the suspension. What are you trying to accomplish by suspending the account?
