So I bought a Verizon Novatel T1114, an Antenna Gear M39 and a painters pole to put it up in the air. Once delivered ****, I called Verizon to activate it and they reneged and would not activate the T1114 despite their previous commitment. They claim it is no longer supported by their system. That's bunk, my brother has a T1114 and they are continuing to support his.
A particular model of device that's been obsoleted from being "newly activated" can still be used if it's already in use on Verizon.
Hence the reason yours can't be activated yet the one your brother has still works.
I had the same problem with a Samsung Note 3 phone. I had it for about 5 years. It worked, but I was ready to replace it. I replaced it, then hated the phone I got as a replacement and got a refund. Verizon could not re-activate the Note 3 because it had been deprecated from their systems. If I'd have left it active, it would still have been functional. They could not put it back in their system. I was SOL.
