With VZW it's just a matter of dialing *228 and/or calling them to make the switch. The trick is that VZW bills a month in advance so if, for instance, you're switching from a top-shelf smartphone to a lesser one, the change in your data plan won't be evident until the end of the next billing cycle.

I can say from personal experience that if you add more phones to the contract it can get challenging to juggle...Our plan has 4 lines on it (mine, Shel, and the kids). When Shel got her Palm it was when we were adding a 4th line for Da Boy; we got the intro price on the phone for that number, switched that to Shel's number and parked her Blackberry (which had a different data plan) while at the same time switching my Blackberry over to my Droid X. August was a fun month; 2 phone purchases + overlapping data plans = $540 bill. Yeah, Verizon loves me.
