When does number porting occur for a pre-ordered phone? Want to avoid ATT termination fee...

Hello - I am interested in moving from AT&T to a shared Verizon plan with my wife who is already on Verizon. I would like to pre-order the new iPhone 6S. My contract with AT&T ends 3 days after the current ship date for the iphone. However, I can't seem to pick a different shipping date, so I am worried the port request will go to AT&T while I'm still on contract and they'll charge me the early termination fee.

So, my question is when does number porting occur for a pre-ordered phone - when it is configured before shipping or when I open the box and request the phone be activated?

Thanks!

We would love to have you join us pgtoverizon. The port would start the day the device shipped.  I've got a great suggestion. Start service with us get a great new phone and get a temp number. You can port in the day after your contract expires.
