Problem re-activating phone...

I was going around trying some different ROMs and when I got to the Drellisdee one it said my phone needed to be activated again. I tried calling the number but it couldn't even make a connection.

So then I went to an Energy ROM and when I called the activation number if connected but ultimately wasn't able to activate it.

Did I screw something up/how can I fix this?

I've had activation problems late at night, when I assume Verizon must be doing maintenance or something, or when I have a poor signal. I just kept trying until it worked.

did you dial *228? Sometimes you have to call tech support and tell them you hard reset your phone. They they will reauthorize the phone

Thanks guys, I tried it again when I awoke this morning and it worked immediately. I guess that they were just doing maintenance...it was just awful timing when I was switching between the ROMs haha

Yeah, I know that feeling. Your first thought is, "Oh crap, what did I do to my phone?"

+1 I have done that same thing and I have felt that same way.
