Can I keep my German number?

Yes, but it is a separate request. Cancelling your contract does not port your number.

The detail

Porting is arranged through your new provider, not your old one, and it still works for a period after the contract ends.

That window is provider-specific — some allow 30 days, others considerably longer.

What to do

Decide before you cancel.

If you want the number, start the porting request with the new provider and expect a fee.
