Okay so today I ordered 2 new Xs Max phones from Verizon which will be delivered to my home on launch day. The customer rep gave me an 888 number to call to switch the numbers from the AT&T phones to the new Xs Max phones (said I need AT&T account # and PIN/password). Each current phone will get iOS 12 on 9/17 and fully backed up to iCloud and locally via iTunes on my Mac.

So here's my question - do I:

Option A:

1. Setup each new phone as new
2. Transfer the number from AT&T
3. Reset the new phone and setup from backup

OR

Option B:

1. Transfer the number for each phone
2. Setup from backup
