Help Network Issues

Yesterday, I received the phone I ordered from radio shack and activated it. Activation seemed to have gone smoothly, but I can't seem to get any kind of network activity anywhere I go. I was trying to send a text yesterday, but I kept getting an error 97 class 2. I figured it was due to my location (for some reason, a mile down the road I can get full 3G, but at my house I have no bars. This was the same as my previous phone)

I tried to use it again down the lane, but it was not receiving any sms or data. I was able to place two calls however, one to a friend on the virgin network, and another to my home phone. When I google'd error 97, I seen it was an old problem on the sprint network.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? Everything else seems fine about the phone, but without a connection I can't really do much away from the home.
 
Pull your battery. Both mine and my wife's evo's had network errors exactly twice within a day of activating. Couldn't text or call. All 4 times, a battery pull restored voice/text service, and we haven't had the problem since then.

Partial luck. I tried calling someone and it went through. I'm still getting the code 97 though for sms. Thank you for the help
