You may be able to transfer the SIM card from your phone with service to the other phone. We did that with a phone while were on vacation in another country. We took the card out of our phone, stored it in a safe place, then put in the card from the other country for two weeks. When we got home we put the original card back in and service resumed as normal. As long as your card will work in both phones and the phones are not locked to a carrier I don't see why you couldn't just take the card from one phone and put it in the other.
