moving sats to a different plane

It appears the Delta II has been cleared for launch on Sept 4 for the
next Iridium launch. An earlier report from AW&ST (Aug 3) had at least
one of the five sats moved to Plane 5. Florida Today is now reporting
that one will be moved to Plane 5 and one to Plane 3.

What's involved in moving a launched sat designated for a given plane to
be moved to another plane of the same inclination. Is it more than  
raising or lowering the orbit to change the period?
