How do I switch cell phones on Verizon

[rjsurfer]

I just purchased a new for me LG phone to replace an Galaxy S5 with USB connector issues on my Verizon plan.

I'm sure I can repair the connector by switching it out (already purchased the kit) so I might eventually be switching back to it.

How hard is it to make the swap on their web site, rather then going into the Verizon store and letting them do it. I do realize that I have to swap the SIM card.

Is the switch immediate or is there a delay where I might not have cell service on either phone?

Thanks

Swapping the sim card may or may not be possible

Over the years SIM cards have been washed many times and since they are made from shrinkable fabric every time you wash 'em they SHRINK.. Ok, the wash is a joke but my original phone the SIM was a bit smaller than a postage stamp. Then it was about 1/4 that size. and now about 1/2 that size.

GO to the store. only takes 'em a few mintues.

I’d call the Verizon customer service and they can tell you exactly the right procedure.

Just put the sims card in the phone and turn it on. Unless you want it registered with verizon for insurance repair reasons
