I just picked up my first Android phone, used BB prior.

Here is my issue, i turn on my phone and I can make one call, all subsequent calls I just get a call ended message. If I restart my phone I can make one more call, rinse and repeat to infinity and beyond. I have full bars. If I go into wireless and networks I can select and register with the speakout network, however if I go into call settings > additional settings I get a network or sim card error.

Info
android version: 2.3.3
build number: gingerbread.xxkpe
carrier: Speakout

Anyone have any ideas what my issue is?

sounds like you get a bad phone(as bad sim is rare). ask around and borrow a phone to test

So the SIM card will work in any unlocked phone I don't have to update the IMEI number with Speakout?

Well I returned the Gio and picked up a HTC Legend and you was right it was the phone. Actually like the Legend better, glad that Gio went fubar.

Thanks for the replies!
