How to use a Droid 2 without Verizon service activation

I purchased an old Droid 2 with a clean ESN today, rooted it, installed Droid2Bootstrap, loaded Monster_D2_2.3.2_4.5.153 onto the sdcard, cleaned the cache, wiped the data, rebooted into recovery, loaded the new images, rebooted. Came back up just fine. Now, here is a problem you may not have experienced before. I am not a Verizon customer. Just wanted the phone to develops Apps and play with. How can I get past the phone number activation requirement?
