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.

I have tried this in the past and it would not let me activate the phone back on occasion and I had to call them anyway, but now I had to explain why I went to an old phone and back to my current. After having to authenticate recently myself, I would rather dial *8899 and tell them I hard reset. Just my experience.
