Default Phone number swap within account?

I know this isn't really the right forum for this, but since I'm a Charge user and I think the Charge forum users are pretty smart guys, I figured I'd ask here.
Do you guys know if it is possible to swap phone numbers within an account?
The reason I ask is that I bought two Charges before unlimited data went away. I'm trying to get my bill down, so I am suspending one of my Charges. You can only suspend a line for 6 months per year, so I am curious if I can continuously keep a Charge suspended, but swap the phone numbers so I can always keep a Charge suspended and still keep my existing phone number active.
I wouldn't care if my secondary phone number gets changed to something else each time, but I'd like keep my primary number active as well as keep a phone suspended until 4G rolls out here...

EDIT: I forgot to mention the customer service rep told me that wasn't possible at all, but I don't think she knows what she's talking about

Simple answer no. They are not going to swap numbers for you to keep I line indefinitely suspended. Think about what your asking. A company to give.you a way around there own policy to save you money. Verizon deosnt save anyone money.

Well yeah, but I would think this is a fairly rare usage case. Do you know if you can forward a suspended line's number to another phone number? I highly doubt that would be possible.
If GrooveIP didn't have such a delay during a conversation, I'd just use it and make everybody call my GVoice number.

I've swapped phone numbers around on devices without issue, but I wasn't trying to game my bill like you are.

Kudos for thinking out of the box.

Wiping battery stats has the same influence over battery life as waving a dead chicken over your phone does; none, per Google.
If your sig takes up more screen real estate than most of your posts, maybe you should trim it a bit...
