CS is really tired of giving me the akey and I don't know how long it will stay overridden. I was unaware until this that the akey changes all the time.

I think I read somewhere one way to avoid this while you still have your old phone, do the updates on your new phone than activate it then it will be programed with a new a-key. It is why I keep an older wm phone around incase I know I am going to do something that might require a new a-key. Usually will activate that phone do the updates on the 6800 than re activate it. Don't have to deal with customer service that way just swap out ESN's on Verizon's website as needed.
