I had a similar experience. I suddenly started receiving the error 67 code. When I opened up my phone using QPST service programming, I noticed that some of my settings had reverted back to the sprint defaults. I updated them again and then had to convince VZW tech support to do the little EIN reset trick to get the data working again. It took several tries to find a rep that would help me. Whenever I felt like they were going to probe too deep I said that I would have to call back later because I had somewhere to go.

I know this does not help activate new phones, but maybe can save some people who already have them.
