What Does Swap Device Mean?
A SWAP allows a customer to move phone numbers, plans and services between an active device and an inactive device. It allows both devices to remain active on the Sprint network while allowing employees to change devices, plans and services but maintain their same phone numbers.

.

Also asked, can you switch numbers between two phones?

No, you can't swap numbers with someone on another account while the lines are active. This option is only available for 2 devices on the same account. However, you can switch devices with someone on another account if you both deactivate the devices.

Subsequently, question is, how do I switch phones on Sprint from home? To activate your phone online:

  1. Sign in to My Sprint with a valid username and password.
  2. In the My Account area, scroll down to the About my devices section and find the phone you would like to swap out.
  3. Select Activate a new phone from the drop down menu located to the right of the phone (shows Manage this device)

Moreover, what happens if you take out your SIM card and put it in another phone?

You can take the SIM card out, put it into another phone, and if someone calls your number, the new phone will ring. If the SIM card and phone serial number don't match, the phone simply won't work. The SIM card won't work in other phones, and the phone won't work with other SIM cards.
