Exactly. Actually even if the phone turned on you wouldn't have to change the MSID or MDN because it has already been active on your phone number before. Once you have done it once for you phone number you never have to do it again unless you change your number. Trust me I work for a Sprint corporate repair center and I know exactly what they will see, if you activate it online before you go you will be all set and the TEP transfers over when you do the swap.
