May 27, 2012 9:21 PM in response to briancharbby spacedye2001,First make sure both iPhones are using the lastest iOS 5.1.1. Secondly make sure all of your data is backed up in separate iCloud accounts one for each user. Make sure that you are all of the options in iCloud are on. Then you have to switch the sim cards.

This page will take you though the steps of backing up data and then restoring the data on both iPhones. Make sure to read everything before you start the process it is fairly straight forward.

You can use iTunes to restore or the iCloud option. I find that iCloud is much easier to setup but it requires wifi.
