Just wondering if anyone else uses a rogers samsung flight sgh-a796 on speakout. Just popped the SO sim in and it works fine as far as dialing and txting, but similarily to people using the iphone, i'm having issues trying to access any of the SO numbers for account balance and top-ups. Dialing *777 and *888 yields the "this call cannot be completed as dialed" message. I know that iphone users have reported a fix by turning off the 3g network, however I have been unable to find such a setting in the sgh-a796. Does anyone know a similar solution, or an alternate way to access those numbers on this phone? Thanks!

Interesting. I've been having the same problems as you with dialling *777 and *888 using my Nokia E63 (and I just tried to call customer services, and the same problem too!)
Just noticed that the 3G indicator is always on these days - presumably there have been upgrades to the transmitters around here (Hamilton, ON) as I seldom saw this on my phone until recently - so I'll try to see if I can 'switch off 3G" and report back.
On the other hand... does this mean we can use 3G if we go with the unlimited data plan?
