So I got my new phone yesterday and decided that I might as well activate the new SIM that came with it, since mine in almost 4 years old, and I didn't upgrade it the last time I got a phone from them.

Well here we are 16 hours later & my phone will still not connect to the network, and my old SIM and been disconnected. So I have no way of making or recieving calls. Before I activated it I tried my old SIM in the 8125 and it worked fine Even without installing any of the Cingular Extended ROMs.

I guess I will have to go into a store latter this afternon and have them work it out.

Also when I went to install ActiveSync It wouldn't let me because I didn't have all of the service packs installed in XP. (I am using an early edition, and keep the updates turned off) so it took 2 hours of downloading and installing updates before I could even sync.

On the up side, I was able to CID unlock it and upgraded to the custom ROM that summiter (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45295) posted, Installed Reg Wizard, Total Comander, and Weather to Go. I am also able to use WiFi at home.

Next things to do are Get the dam thing on the network, then install a VoIP client so I can use my Broadvoice VoIP on it. then decide on a GPS program and get that going.

Sorry for the long post. Thanks to all of you for giving so much info & Help.

I wouldn't change any thing to do with CID unlocking or the ROM till they fix it. You could end up in one of those situations

You: "it wont make calls."
Them: "you changed the ROM (unlocked cid), that's why it don't work."
You: "Id didn't work before I did that."
Them: "Well it voids your warranty."
You: "but..."
Them: "Bend over, we're drivin'!"

The problem was the SIM card they sent me was bad, I went and got a new one and it works great now.
