Thanks for your answer. What I had surmised from other upgrades was that I would follow the backup - switch SIM cards - restore from iCloud or iTunes routine. What I wasn't sure of is if I needed to reset or wipe each of the phones so that our settings wouldn't interfere with each other. Usually I upgrade to a clean phone and my old one goes in the drawer.
