How to unlock my iphone 4s ios 6 and switch from sprint to verizon prepaid?

Also how would unlocking my iphone and switching carriers affect/change my phone number?

With Sprint And Verizon, They both use what is actually called a CDMA network. Phones that run on a CDMA network actually don't get unlocked, they get what is called Flashing (which IS legal with the consent of the carrier). "Flashing" is essentially re-writing the software on the phone to read the signals of another carrier. Depending on What Carrier you want to switch to, can determine Where you go to get your phone flashed. You Can't Flash From companies such as Verizon to Sprint though as the bigger carriers (also known as tier 1 carriers) do not offer flashing from other Tier 1 carriers. You Can however Flash from a Tier 1 to a Tier 2 (such as PagePlus). Try searching "Flashing to another carrier" or "Flashing to page plus".

And the reason I'am suggesting Page plus is because they use Verizon towers and are a prepaid service. And I strongly believe you would lose your number.
