Question

Can I switch phone numbers between two iPhones?

I have ordered a 3GS, replacing my wife's 2G model. She will now get my 3G model. Do we have to change phone numbers or is there a way to move my 3G number with the 3GS and vice versa. It would be much better if that was possible.

24" iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I plan to do something similar.

I will go to AT&T store and tell them what I want to accomplish and I'm sure they will do just that.

You may be able to do this over the phone, not sure.

Call AT&T (or whomever your provider is) they will tell you how to get this done.

I also wish to switch phone numbers between phones. I just got off the phone with AT&T customer support. You can handle this over the phone. Need to have the two phones in hand at the time. I got through to customer support today with less than one minute on hold. I was quite surprised. AT&T must have really staffed up for the release.

Thanks for the tip. I called AT&T support and in ten minutes they had me swap the sims and they did whatever at their end and am good to go.
