Sometimes it will take longer than normal because the OTA Activation lags behind the ESN swap and commits the wrong programming information to the phone. This is definitely doable, just sometimes it takes a little longer.
If anyone ever does this, don't ever turn on the device until after the ESN swap is completed. That helps avoid the problem I just mentioned. If it still commits the wrong programming try a update profile and as last resort factory reset the phone.
It will work fine, you just have to let the network catch up to your device swaps sometimes.
