4G SIM card swapping?

[WA_Bob]

I have a curious question. If I have two Verizon 4G phones I know I can take the SIM card from one and put it into another one to activate the second phone. But if I kept the other phone in reserve or just needed to swap out which phone I use periodically, will I be able to do that? Or will it cause too much chaos with Verizon's system or the phones themselves to be practical to do?

I'm not knowledgeable on SIM cards and I may get a chance to get another 4G phone cheap so I want to make sure it works well before I buy it by starting it up with my SIM card (it doesn't have one now). Also, if I do buy the other, I'd want to keep one as a "beater" to use at work and keep the other to use when I'm not out and about for my job. (I'm a forester so I work out in the woods where the environment isn't kind to even a well protected phone)

Please pardon me if this has been asked dozens of time before and I just missed the answer. Thanks all!

You may need to get an adapter. I know the SIM for the TB and SIM for the Gnex are different sizes. I believe the TB SIM is a full size SIM and the Gnex is a micro SIM. But I have seen reports that the Gnex SIM with an adapter will work in the TB.

From what I have heard all VZW LTE phones will have micro SIMs in the future.

Thanks Zanza and Yeahha! I'll double check on that adapter also!
