Apple says iPhone must use iCloud, strip and restore before activation

Trying to move from another service provider to xfinity/Verizon. Conflicting opinions from each. Apple says must do a full restore on phone before getting on Verizon. Comcast says no need. Who is right?

If your iPhone had been locked by your previous carrier and now unlocked a restore is recommended.

Brought over 2 IPhone 8's 2 weeks ago from ATT. Just popped in XM SIM card and activated. Did not restore. I did back up both phones just in case something went wrong. All went smooth.
