1. Do All VZW devices use an akey to authenticate the phone on the network? I thought it was for data only.

YES

2. In the ESPT (##778 ) settings is the akey field supposed to be blank because it is on my Vogue.

YES

3. Is it correct the akey is 26 digits?

YES

4. Is there a way that I can extract the akey from my Vogue. CDMA workshop 2.7 was no help. I did connect it to DFS & was able to read an akey. There are four fields in the Keys section on the General Tab which are DEC, akey, SSda, SSDB. Next to the the DEC field there is CS field (check sum) which DFS didn't read.

DEC: 20 digit numeric number.
akey: 16 digit alpha numeric number.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO EXTRACT THE AKEY.

I ended up just calling VZW to reset my akey which worked without any problems.
