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:

2. For the Mobile Directory Number, put in your phone number in there.
