OH, and this was long before the Altell/VZN merger. when this was done, that was nothing but a rumor.

My god dude, you are thick. Your phone had been added to the DMD, thats why you could activate it. I could take any CDMA phone anywhere in the world and use *228 option 3 to activate it once it was loaded in the DMD. That was never in dispute. I'm also willing to bet that your 6800 was loaded into the DMD as one of our 6800s so in a way telling the OTA that it is a VZW phone. You go ahead and send a phone to TX...let us know how that goes eh? Speaking of people that don't know "how the system works", you fit into that catagory. When you activated the phone is also irrelevant as any device in the last 5 or more years could have been activated once loaded into the DMD.
