Can I keep the same phone number after upgrading from iPhone 11 to 15?

Hello all- I want to upgrade my cell phone from my iPhone 11 to an iPhone 15. I was told we wouldn’t be able to keep the same phone number because the 15 has an e sim and it can’t transfer our same phone number over. I would like to know if we can transfer the same phone number as I would need to keep my number the same because of a lot of reasons.
