Hi, I just got a new 1600 with the 100 minutes package. I insert my battery and turn on the phone. At 9pm PST today, when I try to make any calls, to any number, including *888 and *777 the phone waits a few seconds and immediately I get four beeps and the call is instantly cancelled. Anyone know whats going on? Is this normal/abnormal?

Just to add, I appear to be getting a strong signal. I've put the SIM card into my unlocked rogers phone and it gives me the same behavior (instant cancelled call)

do you have to call CS to have the phone activated or is it supposed to be ready to go off the hop?

I'm currently experiencing the same problem. I just bought the 1600 and I cannot make ANY outgoing calls. Not even 611, *777 or *888 work. I also get beeps after hitting send and there is no dial tone before the call is automatically cancelled.
Does anyone know how long activation is supposed to take? 2 hours?

I cannot make ANY outgoing calls.
Call SO customer service from another phone and ask for help.

SO phones are all pre-activated. The problem, whatever it is, is something else.

I bought a new phone and I got three beeps when I tried to call out. I called the customer service number and they told me that my number did not exist on their registry. I had to take out the SIMM and read various numbers to them off the back of the phone. Then they said they would reactivate the phone and it should be available to call out after 1/2 hour.
