Arch,
You're right this isn't high school..... I still think its reasonable to expect you to do your research - keeping in mind that ppcgeeks is not the center of all knowledge and doesn't claim to be. Fitbryan was at the center of a long thread on error code 37 a year and a half ago. The fact that it was on pdaphonehome doesn't obligate him (or anyone else) to repeat or summarize that discussion - that's your job. Here's the thread in case you hadn't seen it.

HowardForums also had few:

The gist is that this error code is the Apache's way of telling you that the network rejected your new EVDO logon. For most people it's an occasional annoyance - the phone will keep trying until it succeeds.
On a positive note, I re-read your posts and agree that the key issue is the pre-paid plan. The best information related to that still seems to be at HoFo - "Wireless" is the man - running a XV6700 with unlimited data for $.99/day, and sometimes free.
According to this thread,
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254608, Verizon just clamped down on "smartphone" use on the prepaid plan in the last few days. According to Wireless, "The party's over". This may be related to your problem. Good luck resolving. Please post back your experience. tmb
