I activated my iphone 6 early today and still cannot make calls due to message stating "unable to authenticate my phone. What do I do next?

Did you buy it directly from Verizon Wireless, from a third party retailer, or a friend?
You also mention that you cannot make calls. Are you able to receive calls?
Are you able to send and receive messages?

Mwarzyn, we always want you to have the My Verizon access at your fingertips. Let's work to get to the bottom of this. Do you recall adding anything new to the phone recently? Does this happen when connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data? When going to the Settings, General, Software Update, is your device up to date?
