When you switch your iPhone from AT&T to Verizon, you'll probably want to keep the phone number that your friends, family, and colleagues already have. To do that, you have to "port" your number. This allows you to keep your phone number, but move it and your account to another provider.
Most numbers in the U.S. can port from one carrier to another (both carriers have to offer service in the geographic location where the number originated), but you can check whether your number will port from AT&T to Verizon here.
If your number is eligible to port, terrific. If not, you'll have to decide whether you want to keep your number and stick with AT&T or get a new one and distribute it to all your contacts.
