Default Swapping Xoom and Thunderbolt SIM

I have Motorola Xoom 4g (just sent it in for the upgrade) and a Thunderbolt (also 4g). I have an unlimited data plan with the phone number on my Thunderbolt.

Does anyone know if I can switch my unlimited data plan to the Xoom? Would I have to switch SIM or can I just call Verizon?

Are you sure (from experience?). I can pop my thunderbolt sim in my usb lte modem or mifi without any problems.

Really! Even though the modem is data only?

Yeah, not a problem. Even shows the new device in my online account. The LTE user guide specifically says that you can do this:

"You can move the 4G LTE SIM Card from one device to another and your wireless service will work seamlessly as long as you have a compatible device and service plan"

So far, my regular plan has been considered compatible for them...

That would be AWESOME! I use my tablet for school and run to my 3GB limit every month. I could probably easily pull out 5GB if I used it how I wanted to. That unlimited plan is much needed.

Wait til they see you doing it! Then your hit with huge date charges for it. It may work but remember you got warned ahead of time.

Are you posting this from experience, or just something you think may happen? I've not heard from anyone that saw extra charges. As long as you don't go over you data bundle limit, you shouldn't see anything.

Thats the whole point of a Sim card is to be able to move it from device to device... Even their own documentation says that. But who knows with VZW. When I had T-mobile and At&t I used to swap Sims all the time.
