I did this with Radio Shack on the release day. I am on a Family shared account with my wife, though my Mom and Dad also have a Sprint account. Neither my wife or I were up for renewal, but my Father was. So, when I went into RS, they simply called Sprint, activated it on his account, deactivated it, activated it on my account, then reactivated his old phone. This was all done directly through Sprint with absolutely no hassle.
