Swapping cell phone identity..?

I have 2 Audiovox 8610 cell phones. (When you quit laughing at this museum piece...). One is registered with Virgin Mobile and I've been using it for years. I add $20 every couple of months. The other was given to me. I've dropped my phone enough that it's starting to malfunction. My question is: "Is there a way that I can transfer the identity of my hardware to the other hardware??" Is there some sort of little circuit card that is unique that can be swapped?

Thanks for any help that you can offer..

Update:

Thanks Mc Mister. It sounds like I should find a manual for the phone and see if I can get to the SIM card to swap. I searched online for tech info on this phone but couldn't find it. Can you provide that link that you found?

    Yes it is called a SIM card. Almost all phones have them, but some are internal. There also ways to clone your phone, but this would take a little more effort. I checked a site on your phone and it came back saying there was a SIM card in it. If you need any help, just add details.
