I was wondering If I could Just switch phones by using the SIM cards ?

My mother has the Galaxy S III and she doesn't like it that much , I also have the Droid RAZR and I'd like to have the Galaxy .
Is there anyway I could just pull out my SIM card and put it in hers and she does the same vise versa ?
Tell me everything you all know(:)

THANKS In Advance:)

You will still need to call VZW and have them switch the ESN's..... Also you may want to look at them and verify they are the same SIM.... I believe they are......

I always thought like lets think of it this way ,
My phone doesn't work , I put my SIM card into a friends phone to call my people ? I'd still need to Call VZW ?

And would it void the warranty ???
If I would happen to do this ??

Found this on Verizon's website FAQs:
Can I use my Verizon Wireless 4G SIM in more than one device?
Yes; the Verizon Wireless 4G SIM card contains all of your subscriber information, so the SIM card is portable and can be used in any Verizon Wireless-certified 4G device. All usage will be billed to the account associated with the 4G SIM card.


Remember that you'll have to save your contacts onto the SIM and not just have it tied to your Google account otherwise you'd have to log into your Google account on your friends' phone. As for warranty I've been told different things by different reps. One said "changing ownership of the device" voids the warranty, but they usually overlook it and will grant any warranty exchange anyway.

try the app "contact to sim" or something along those lines. I never did it, but I've heard those work.

Alrighty , I'll just use backup assistant or Google .

So would it work if I could basically switch phones ?? My SIM card into my mothers phone and my mothers SIM card into my phone ?? Would that work ???

It will work just fine. I did it from the Razr Maxx to the S3 to the Maxx HD without issue. You do NOT need to contact Verizon
