Yes but be aware of what tx_dbs_tx wrote below. I forgot to mention that because I did not find that to be too big a deal but after reading his statement it may be cause of concern to some. To Sprint's credit they did inform me of the advance billing and the prorated credit for the current plan and prorated charge for the new plan.

You also lose the ability to monitor your minute usage until the next billing cycle. Not big deal for me as I never come anywhere near the 500 minutes but could be an issue for some.

But remember that unless you buy the new phone and change your plan ON your billing cycle date, you WILL be pleasantly surprised with a "month-in-advance" on your very next bill! Meaning you get charged for a full months price plan on top of your normal bill with your current price plan. Not to mention activation fee and extra bs sprint fees and taxes. I'm just letting the upgrade eligible people out there know. If you're a new Sprint customer then you're fine. Try to upgrade ON your monthly billing cycle date and you can avoid this nightmare. If not expect a double bill around the corner. Supposedly it is prorated but it never appears that way when it has happened to me.
