I think you mean "switch" not instead of "swift" in the first place, right?

Exchange numbers - you take the other person's number in exchange for your number.

Ooops, what a horrible typo (meat)... Emotion: sad
and yes, Brian, I meant switch. I heard it in a song and I mixed up the verbs!

Hi,

Switch sounds wrong to me. If Tom and Mary switch hats, it sounds like they each go home with a different hat, and that it's a permanent exchange. Same idea with phone numbers, which thus sounds odd.

If you want a word that starts with 's', I would say swap phone numbers.

Hey, Clive!!

Interesting observations you gave us... but now I'm lost.
What word is more frequently used in a daily basis?? Swap or Exchange?

Hi,

Probably 'swap'.

But in practice, I think these kinds of conversation often go like this -

Person A: I'll give you my number.

Person B: OK, mine is 444-1234.

Best wishes, Clive
