hi.
lost my phone, got a brand new one thank god for insurance.
i flashed my phone a long time ago with a rom from OMJ.
gps was super slow and reading around the forum i'm guessing gps now works with agps so it's actually usable maybe...i hope.
i've flashed before. that's all cool.

so before i remember it was a big pain in the rear to call verizon to activate my phone. it wouldn't activate using the automated system and i needed a higher level technician to do it remotely. what made (and would make still) this process really annoying is that my cell phone is my only phone at home. therefore the technician said he'd call me back after trying some things and if i didn't hear, call him back in 10 min. so he could try something else. wow. yes it was annoying but he did get it.

so my question.
has there been any advances or changes in roms or verizon's systems so that activating a flashed phone doesn't require that level of assistance from verizon?

thanks.
