there is a good chance your rebate will get denied if you swap esn before its processed. from what we where told is that the rebate department checks the esn to the subscription id that it was activated to, this is to make sure you don't upgrade and sell the phone to make money. if you get the phone at a 3ed party that does instant rebates you will be fine, hard part would be getting them to spend the time to do the swap. i have customer come in with denial notes from swapping subs to early, but your ok if you wait till its "processed".
