I am considering switching my basic phone with my son's smart phone. He would like to have my phone under his current number and vice versa. I have found the online instructions through My Verizon. He is the only one in the family plan with a smart phone (the rest of us are all basic phones). Do you think Verizon will automatically switch my son's data package to my number? or will I have to contact verizon/go into a verizon store to do so?
This excerpt from the instructions makes me think phone calls and/or visit to the verizon store may be necessary:
"switch devices between two compatible plans on your account. Each person keeps their phone number and plan, but will have the swapped device."
Since I have a basic phone with no data package, are our plans non-compatible?
Thanks!

You can still switch phones. The only problem I see is if he currently has an unlimited plan in which case that may be lost and you'll need to choose the 2, 5 or 10GB plan for your line. Probably best to just call customer service from a different device to make sure everything gets set up correctly.

PJNC is correct. If your son has an unlimited data plan, when you switch phones you will need to choose a tiered data plan and also remember to cancel his data plan.
