Early Termination Fees

Ok. Here's my issue. I bought my iphone on June 29 (the release date) and my mom just bought herself one last week. Both are activated. I noticed that her camera quality is much better than mine for some reason so I wanted to switch iphone's with her. Called Apple Tech Support and they told me to switch the SIM cards. I did that, but when I plug them into itunes it takes me through the activation process all over again. Do I have to reactivate each iphone? will this cause any early termination fees?

I'd appreciate any help from anyone who works for either Cingular or AT&T or someone who has dealt with this issue.

I don't work for AT&T (Cingular is no more) but the SIM card must be activated with the iPhone's IMEI number - each iPhone (and GSM phone) has a unique IMEI number. This activation process should be an abbreviated one - not the full activation process when first activating an iPhone with AT&T and will not cause an early termination fee regardless since you are not terminating the contract.
