May i ask how do you deactivate and reactivate the phone? Do you do it by yourself or with Verizon's help?
You don't need VZ's help if you have another VZ phone you can activate.

It can be an old $10 flip phone. You go to verizonwireless.com & create an account (it's free)

Then you go to where it says you can change phones. You turn off your existing phone (remove the battery) & type in the ESN or MEID from the old phone & tell them to activate it (it only takes a minute & the site tells you what to do)

When the old phone is activated, make a couple calls to make sure it works then wait about ten minutes & shut it down.

Now use the exact same procedure to re-activate the TP2 again & it should work fine. This procedure forces a DMU reset.
