Issues:
1) If you have issues with the phone not recognizing the network, make
sure the radio is on by making sure it is not low on power
2) Sometimes the phone requires you to do “m e p p d” instead of “m e p d”
and if that occurs, you will need to do “m e p p 2″ instead of “m e p 2″
3) If you have issues with the network not working after you have finished
and the phone isn’t low on power, switch from Global to GSM to Verizon
a few times (keep on doing) and after 3 times of the process completed,
leave it on GSM. Should work now.
Removing “Activation Required” on the screen:
1) On the main screen of the phone, press ##000000
2) For the Mobile Directory Number, put in your phone number in there.
3) After you have done that, press the menu button to save the options
and the phone will automatically restart
