You just call VZW tech support and tell them you had to hard reset your phone and now when you make a phone call your phone says VZW cannot authenticate your phone. They will issue you a new AKey. They will walk you through putting the AKey in. The steps are dial ##778 and send(if it does not work don't panic try ##778#). It will ask for a code. Enter 000000. Select edit. Select the menu in the bottom left and choose Akey. On the next screen you will enter the new AKey that they provide.

An easier way if you got a warranty or other replacement phone from verizon. Write down your old ESN from you phone your about to turn in, then activate your new phone (you'll need to log into the vzw site). If you get the A-Key issue (problems geting you phone on their network when you try to make a call). Log into the vzw site, change phone, put in your old ESN, let it go, after that's done, log out, log back in, change ESN, put in your new ESN, and you'll be fixed. You still will have to do the *228 and program your phone..
Was told this directly from the vzw tech guy today.
