The reason the phone company can't use your phone number the minute you cancel your contract is so that there will not be a large number of people dialing that number and getting someone else than the one they expect.
Last time I took out a phone contract, I spent the first few months fielding debt collectors, university tutors and various other people looking for the number's last owner.
