I have this same phone and I'm irritated by it because any numbers long distance I can't redial because I can't add a 1 to the number. Any fix?

John - Don't be irritated! If you need to add a 1 at the beginning of the number, Press SELECT and then CID/DOWN ARROW or DIR/UP ARROW to scroll through the various dialing formats (area code + seven-digit number, 1 + seven-digit number, seven digit number or 1 + area code + seven-digit number). Press DISPLAY DIAL to call using the speakerphone or press DISPLAY DIAL and then lift the handset. The telephone automatically dials the displayed telephone number.

Same problem..can not figure out how to Accept a call waiting call. Read and re-read manual-no mention. Nothing on web site. I'm really starting to upset callers.Love the phone beyond that little quirk.

You can activate it. I would suggest going to a boost store if you are not already set up on boost. If you want to keep your old phone number again I would suggest going to the store.

The DCB Plus in Standard Mode from the factory already blocks calls with less than 7 digits. So if you only see "1" displayed, then that call will automatically be blocked for you.

I was not able to call *228 but I did just call verizon and they did it. When I tried *228 it repeatedly failed.

Yes you just have to dial 1 and then the number, because the 1 is for the U.S. or for England I know theirs is 4 so it depends who your calling/texting

Hello Jennifer, You actually have gotten farther than I did, because when I insert my sim card nothing happens. Sorry I wasn't able to help maybe you can take your phone to your mobile provider. Blessing

I bought this item some weeks ago and It's been working Good.. Maybe the issue of Activation could be a problem for you, but I Have the solution. Do the next... Press ##000000 and then press ok, then, where say MOBIL DIRECTORY NUMBER delete the number that appears in there and Write your own number, then press RIM buttom and press Save.. That's it.. Problem Fixed... Try this I found on another BB Review. It might help.

you need to check if they have SIM card. The phone can't be programmed in with number.

The same thing happened to me. When you bring your own phone it doesn't count towards your upgrade. Just make sure it is a Verizon ready phone.

My advice is to contact them directly; our particular Easy Minutes plan cannot be applied to certain models so I made sure that I could transfer my minutes when I switched to this phone

this is a prepaid phone, so when you call it's activated right away with a $10.00 balance and they will issue you a new phone # or you might be able to keep your old #. just follow the prompts when you call.

Yes, you keep the same number, all you have to do is dial *228 when you get it and follow the prompts. Good luck and enjoy! :)

no problem with numbers and I hold the phone on my shoulder and talk on it all the time. I use a diaper wipe to clean the make up off the numbers. No issues yet -

If he FREAKS like you said, this is the LAST phone u want to get. It freezes all the time. I'll dial a number, phone reverts to home screen, 10 seconds later, it'll start ringing, even if u opened something else. Half the time i press a softkey, there is a 5-10 second delay. During that delay, in my frustration i'll press another softkey, then the original key i pressed will open up. I'm not autistic, and i freak out with this phone.

I have not experienced a change of the number but I think the easiest thing to do is to get a new sim card for the device
