Quick question. Me and my sister have IPhones on a family plan. I have a 4s and she has a 4. My sister's phone is eligible for an upgrade to the 5, where as I have a couple of months wait until I can upgrade. My sister isn't concerned with having the latest and greatest iphone, where is I'd like to upgrade. Can I have my sister's phone upgraded and swap SIM cards so I can use the 5 and give my sister my 4s? I wouldn't be changing plans at all, so that wouldn't matter. This would also make it possible to upgrade the 4s to a 5s and swap back, if apple brings out a new iPhone this fall. If anyone has done this, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

You can swap SIM cards as much as you want. The plan is tied to the SIM and not the phone.
