Can I do an online ESN swap while using the modem I'm deactivating/switching from? Or do I need to use another internet connection to accomplish the activation of the new device?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Probably a better idea doing it from another internet connection. Or you can call Sprint/Verizon and have them do it over the phone while while your modem is disconnected.
