My wife and I are thinking about upgrading her phone to an iPhone, but get a 16GB and then give her my 8GB, for everyday usage, but switch out so that when she goes on long trips she could have the larger storage capacity.....does anyone know if that would work? Or how the upgrade for mine would work and switch the 8GB to her number?

Or is that a pipe dream?

Thanks!!

I believe you have to reactivate your iPhones every time you swap the SIM cards.

if your phone is unlocked. no need to reactivate your iPhones every time you swap the SIM card. just change cards and it will work fine.
