Author switching phones regularly?

I have two CDMA phones, one of which is currently active through my
Verizon Wireless account, the other of which was active through the
same Verizon Wireless account, with the same number, until I upgraded
to the currently active phone. I'm wondering if I can switch phones at
will, without having to call VzW and get them to reactivate the other
phone. Is it as simple as reprogamming the MIN/MDN in each handset?

You need to go to Verizon's web site, to your online account and
'activate phone'. The phone will need to be programmed (once) but
that's a matter of dialing *228. You then just go back to the website
to switch.

Just register on VZW my account and once you do that there is a link
for upgrade equipment . This link will allow you to do the ESN switches
without calling customer care. Takes less than one minute .

Just make sure that whichever phones you're switching are both GPS
capable. If they aren't and you take one out of service you'll never
be able to activate it on the network again if it's not GPS capable.
