Good luck.
In-store for the Pixel XL, Verizon and maybe Target Mobile are your best bets.
Oh I hope when At&t emails me the Unlock code I can take it to Verizon and get the phone number on it transferred.
Then I can rest assured that the OL is on it and I can buy a Pixel phone for myself.
And everything will be safe.
Too much money to buy 2 phones to change carriers.
And I do not want to make monthly payments
Thanks everybody
Think I will get up in the morning and wait on AT&T to send me a unlock code.
Drive 88 miles to houston. Ask my Ol to borrow her S7E and take it to Verizon and see what they say.

The number is tied to the SIM.
Even when SIM unlocked, AT&T's version of the Galaxy S7 edge won't work on Verizon.

If your AT&T Galaxy S7 edge is paid off, AT&T will have the code for you. Target, Best Buy, Verizon - they won't have it.

Verizon will ask if you want to trade-in the AT&T Galaxy S7 edge and get a phone that's compatible with Verizon.

..They will all be like that unless there's a promo to trade in a phone to get a new one at a good price.
Here's a sample of what people are actually their S7e's for: https://swappa.com/buy/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-att?ref=mobilenations&data1=UUacUvbUpU5764998

That shouldn't matter. Didn't you say you do the want phone payments and wanted to buy outright? You don't need to sign up for Google's financing to buy from Google.

Things will usually work out better when you're not trying to force a square peg to fit into a round hole, which would be the case with trying to get the AT&T branded S7 Edge to work on the Verizon network. Your wife is happy with her phone. Even if her phone could be made to work on Verizon, it would work poorly at best, and she would not be happy, which means it's highly unlikely you would be happy.
It's better to wait until you can get new phones for both of you before moving to a new carrier. In the meantime, as you said your phone may not last much longer, you could order a Pixel or Pixel XL from Google for yourself, and use it on AT&T until you can get a new phone for your wife, and then you could move both phones. Meanwhile, your wife would have the opportunity to see how much you like your new phone, and I'll bet she'll like it too.
