Dialing *777 and 611 from the keypad both get to the SO system today. It has been a while since I tried — but last time I did try they didn't work from the keypad on 3G but did either on 2G or from a SIM contact..

My bad.

I've switched my SIM through several phones with the same result.

Did you disable the 3G to see if it will work?

I just tried that - I have three manual network choices: Rogers 3G, Rogers 2G and some anonymous 3G. The first two both show the 3G indicator when I select them, and give me the error I initially mentioned. The third one comes up with the message "Emergency use only".

The *777 isn't that crucial. I can check my balance on-line.

Thanks for your help.

As it has a few more features than my Speakout phone, I tried it out with my Speakout SIM. Calling and texting works fine. However, when I tried calling *777 to check my balance, I heard a recording that my call could not be completed. *777 works on my Speakout phone, of course.

Why would changing the phone I use break this?
