2. Trade the phones
3. Both owners will need to Activate Your Phones with a temporary number
4. Both owners must Open their own Help Ticket using their email address from the individual accounts, stating that old number, (xxx) xxx-xxxx, needs to be restored to replace the temporary number (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

If a phone is activated using an email address different from the owner's on each account, it will result in a new account being created.
