I finally got disconnected and was able to sort it out myself by trial and error. Still not sure why it happened but it is fine now. The tech support guy acknowledged they have had training but I was his first customer with one and also I had a Mac. The problem was it kept was that it kept wanting to activate as a new device each time I used it. In any case, resolved now and working great.
Interesting. Mine was activated when it arrived. I loaded the VZAcess Manager on my PC, untethered and it showed up on my wireless networks. We have a corporate acct w/Verizon. I wonder if that matters?
