Question about buying a Iphone

[Vaio165]

I want to buy a IPhone SE on Apples website and then use it on Verizon. They are two options when buying it the first is pick your provider and Apple will work with your provider to connect the phone and save your number. Option 2 is I will connect the phone on my own at a later time( that's what I want to do). But if I do that will the phone work with Verizon? I just want to buy the phone and have it work on Verizon. I am a Verizon customer so I don't need worry about saving my number I am just going to replace phones on one line. I attached pictures of the issue.   https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtxxebpM5QtOgtdJ8LnJF9URBE4Kjg

Getting a new device is very exciting! It is important to gather all details before making a decision. You can purchase the iPhone with Apple and bring it over to use it with your current line. You can do either of the 2 options that you sent. We do recommend that you get the device that is specifically manufactured for Verizon so that you can enjoy all features. Please let us know if this helps.  ~Gina

Do I have to buy Apples insurance? Or can I get it covered under Verizon that I have already( I understand if I have to pay more)?
