Help with adding new line from prepaid customer, switching phones?

[KCalzone2013]

Hello all, I hope someone here can give me a bit of help as I'm preparing for my new Galaxy s4 tomorrow!

I have signed a 2yr contract w/verizon recently and have the droid razr HD. I do not like this phone. My husband is under verizon's prepaid plan and wants to start a family share plan with me and take my current phone. So I added a line under my name, and choose the Galaxy S4 as the new line. The representative told me that my husband will have to activate the GS4 as his new line, and since he is coming from prepaid, it will have to take overnight to activate.

So my question is, since it takes so long to activate the GS4 for my husband, can't I just put the new SIM into my Droid Razr and activate that as my husbands phone? Then can I put my SIM into the galaxy and just start using it as my phone?

I just want to be prepared for when it arrives, and of course I want to start using it right away.

Couldn't hurt to try.

Usually, they have no problems switching the lines around on phones. I know Telus in Canada did this for me when I had a Razr and my wife had the LG chocolate. We flipped them over a brief phone call and that was that.
