SIM stands for Subscriber Identity Module. The SIM contains the information to register the device on the network with your account which means that your phone number would come over, yes.

This is correct...however...with some carriers like Sprint and Verizon you will still need to contact the carrier to let them know about the device change or some features and services might not work, like 4G Data or Visual Voicemail or WiFi Calling.

If the swap of devices is temporary, and you don't mind not having full functionality of all services, then it shouldn't be a problem.

I've never had to contact Verizon for those features. Those features also don't work on every phone on Verizon. They only work on Verizon Carrier branded phones or certain carrier unlocked phones that Verizon partners with.

The OP has 2 S7s. He is GTG as long as they are both GSM or CDMA.

Some would argue that the SIM card is the phone. But I don't want to argue.
