So Ive lost my cellphone and all my contacts, Im wondering if I can set up another speakout account/phone and have my old speakout number ported to the new phone thus enabling people who's contacts Ive lost to contact me at the same number. Any one know if this is possible??? Thank you

Just phone SpeakOut customer service, and they'll transfer your account to a new SIM.

once I get a phone does it not already have an issued phone number? will they be able to transfer my account AS WELL as my previous phone number? to a new sim?

I have had my SpeakOut phone for many years, so I'm not sure how they do it now. However, I believe the phone number is issued once the sim is activated.
Yes, the account (and previous phone number) would be transferred to the new sim.

In Canada, a new SIM card has nothing on it. The SIM card has to be activated, and a phone number is then assigned to it.
The phone itself accesses your account from your SIM card. If you put another valid SIM card in the phone, the phone then accesses that account. That makes swapping phones rather painless to do, so it is easier to upgrade.
As already stated, if you lose a phone, or the SIM card is damaged, you can buy a new SIM card, and can get Speakout to transfer your account from the old SIM card to the new SIM card. Your account, old phone number and balance gets transferred to the new SIM card.
Android phones allow you to store your phone numbers on google's cloud. That makes it easier to get your old numbers when you swap phones. A gmail address and password can access your phone numbers if they are already stored in google's servers.
