You can cancel the new account/number and pay the ETF ($350) if it was a discounted phone. If you bought the 6 full price, just cancel as you are not under contract. Either way, the phone is then yours.
Then go to your current account and in "my Verizon" just change the device (iphone 5s to Iphone 6) for the phone number you want to keep. Iphone 6 then has the old number; your not "porting" anything.
I can't think of a reason this wouldn't be allowed unless Edge throws a monkey wrench into the equation.
as long as you are not on edge you can change the number. what you have to do is change the number you want to keep to a different number, then cancel that line. once the line is canceled the number is avalaibe for you to change the contracted number to your original number this can all be done in one phone call to customer service. so for example your current number that is going out of contract is 4455. change the 4455 to a different random numbr 6677. cancel the 6677 number and the 4455 number will be available. change your contract number that has the new iphone to your 4455 number. it is called a TNI swap and it can be done
Or just go to my verizon>my device>swap device. Then cancel the line they no longer want and pay the ETF if one is due. If both numbers are not under the same account, cancel the line you don't want. Then log into my verzizon>my device>activate new device and activate the iphone 6 to the number.
It's all done online and you know it was done the way you want.
i was told by verizon to request to have the number you want to keep saved and switch it to the in contract line then cancel the out of contract line
once again request to have the number saved
